"I had my first visit yesterday and was shocked by the fact that the doctor did not come in with a laptop. She actually listened and wrote down everything I told her instead of "playing" on the computer and not listening. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment here and figuring out what is going on! So far great experience, can't tell you how important it is to me to have a doctor listen and actually be 100% in on figuring out what is going on instead of just prescribing medication to get you out of the office."
