Reviews
I like Dr Hymel he is a great doctor, he explains everything to me and is always helpful, I would definately recommend him.
Very good experience and all questions answered. The procedure went well and felt comfortable.
I’m so grateful to Dr. Hymel and his team. I have suffered repeatedly with this condition for 7 years. No one has been able to find the cause. Dr. Hymel had the answer and the solution 5 minutes after meeting me. His nurse was very knowledgeable and patient when explaining the next steps to me. Thank you all so much.
Doctor Brett Hymel was very good with explaining all possibilities and also taking the time to answer all your questions. I wasn't very pleased with his nurse. Doctor Hymel told me he was going to have his nurse to give me some paperwork for samples that needed to be taking from a lab,and that she would go over everything with me. The nurse handed me paperwork and I asked her where did I need to go and where do I get the kit from. I actually ask her afew questions. All she would say is I don't know , you would just have to figure that one out cause I have no idea.
I just want to say,Dr Hymel was very concerned about what was going on with ongoing issues I been having for years and he took the time to listen which is very important and I definitely loved that he definitely cares about his patients,Dr Hymel thank you and your staff so much
