Was not pleased with my last visit with Dr. Monk and the staff at the new office location, it was very rushed, did not appreciate the way the one staff girl talked to me, the care and concern the doctor showed was not good, strongly considering switching doctors and office

Great team; very helpful

Everyone from the moment I entered the door, until the moment I entered the doctor's examination room bent over backwards to accommodate me and make me feel comfortable. The doctor appeared very informative but his bedside manner left a lot to be desired. At the end he acted like he did not have time to hear anything else I had to say. But that's okay, I got the results I needed and I'm sure I'm at least half the fault for me having felt like this. I'm one side of bubbly and he was not what I expected.
