Exceptional staff! Amazing doctor and human being! They went out of their way to help with AME. So grateful for their service and making the process so seamless.
It took 3 calls and 3 weeks for the dr. to call me back. It would have been nice if the office had let me know in advance that a urine specimen would be needed.
