I was impressed that I was able to be seen on the same day I called for treatment. The receptionist, checking, nurse who greeted me to Dr. Grimes were great in the job they do, lastly the staffer who checked me out was also professional. I explained my symptoms and was happy to see that my care givers all wore mask just as I did in preventing them from getting sick! Bravo for my team of medical providers!
