I really liked the doctor and thought he was very relatable. I trusted I was in good hands. I am not comfortable referring people to this clinic because I don't know how to reach anyone there and I don't want to put anyone through the stress that I went through to get an appointment. If you can figure out how to make scheduling easier and how to get people to answer the phone then I will refer.
