Very comfortable to talk to, understanding, and have patience with the elderly. I think they were fantastic. And I thank you very much. I get beautiful people to help me out. Thank you.
The time in the waiting area was longer than expected but it was obvious the office was very busy. Checking in was easy and quick. The person doing my ultrasound explained what she was doing and why. The PA was attentive, positive and pleasant. Explained reasons for symptoms and what the causes could be. Explained how different antibiotics were best for getting results I wanted.
He listened to my symptoms and adjusted my medication.
The doctor was very good, Dr. Erlach. He explained everything that I needed to know. He was very calm and understanding, which allowed me to be calm and understand him. The staff was very helpful and very good. I had really no complaints at all about the meeting, and I look forward to working with him again. Thank you.
On time, very friendly and knowledgeable
