The doctor is very caring, never rushes you, Takes care of your problem right away…great staff especially Susan, would recommend this office to relatives & friends!!

This was the first time I’ve been here. I had a wonderful experience. Preop over the phone was easy and I received a call a few days before to confirm appointment and go over prep instructions. The nursing staff is so courteous and nice. All around it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this facility

Great experience staff was courteous , patient and informed. I arrived with anxiety over the procedures and was quickly relieved with the staffs confidence. The facility was spotless and comfortable and spacious and very conveniently located. I m highly recommend them. Dr Catinis did an under and lower procedure for me. He is the best. .
