Why do I love coming to this practice? They make you feel comfortable, and they do a great job. I just can't express how good the staff is, all of them. Some of them don't even know me, and they have been very respectful, and courteous, and supportive and complimentary. That makes a big difference, I think, where you go. Some people in business practices, hi, how are you, and you go on, but here they make you feel like you're part of their family. I think that's a big thing, and you feel comfortable coming back. I've been here a lot in the past couple months. They're all very, very positive. I don't think I've met a negative person here. It's been a very good experience for me.
