It was a busy clinic day and it was good to see Dr. McCrossen pull his sleeves up to do various duties that I'm sure the Medical Assistant would normally do. This helped me to be in & out of the clinic for my well visit.

The thing I love the most is that they make a patient feel very comfortable no matter what you are going in for. I love the way they conduct their business from the first time I made a visit there which was March 18, 2022.
