The referral reason was addressed, discussed, and formalized into a plan of action swiftly and efficiently. Both nurse and doctor were knowledgeable and answered many of my questions before I asked them which expedited the process. I see this practice a lot thanks to Burrito Express next door and it’s good to know it’s populated by positive and passionate people behind the scenes. Thank you for your service to the community.
