Went in for my first appointment and it was very fast and easy! he gave me the prescriptions i needed and was honest about what i needed to change and helped me through it, the pharmacy said my insurance couldn't cover a certain CGM and the doctor's office immediately fixed it, as well as the ladies at the desks were so nice to me. I'm glad i chose here to go!!!
