I am my husbands caregiver. On Friday, April 24 I was having… See more

Everyone in the office goes the extra mile for the patients. The doctor is second to none and the nurse is always interested in how I am doing and she knows the members of my family in our history and is concerned and she is this way with everybody. Paula goes the extra mile in arranging appointments for my time schedule which is very difficult due to the fact that I never know from one day to… See more
