    I may have pressed the wrong button for the first one. I did not wait any longer than two minutes. I was informed that he would be with me shortly. He came in seconds later after I was seen by the nurse as well. The whole office is super duper friendly, especially the nursing staff in the front and the triage nurse. The doctor was extremely friendly as well. He heard all of my concerns and helped me find a resolution, as well as asking me necessary questions that I felt needed to be asked without even knowing. And I had a very great experience.
