From Mary at the front desk to Ashley , Brittany and Melinda, my experience was awesome. I’m sure I forgot some one along the way. Don’t know if I’ve ever had a more positive experience before. Everyone was exceptional taking care of me. Loved the vibe with the staff. Dr Cline was great and did a great job! Loved my experience and that they were very accommodating with my issues. Will be happy to come back if need be. Awesome experience!
