    The experience with my Doctor was as good as it always is. His nurse also went above and beyond to get a blood test that was ordered for me from another provider but was sent to the lab downstairs. She was able to retrieve the order and have their office do the bloodwork right in their office so I didn't have to schedule something or come back. Excellent service!
