I can't really give a personal review for this man because I have never met him . It's a shame to be under a Drs care and never to have met that person that is paid to see the patients he has been assigned !!   BUT I can give a review of the person I did see on my meet and greet appointment.  Mathers , I asked for a refill on an allergy med ,Her reply was the allergy season will soon come to an end !!!!!  I mentioned I have Ringing in the ear ,her reply to that was That is my hearing  !!!!!  That was it for the first and LAST appointment with that nonsense . Switched to the care of Jeanne James and her staff ,  I cannot say enough about how refreshing and professional Jeanne James and her team are  .  Absolutely the best in every way  !
