Dr. Terris was very thorough in explaining the results of tests and his recommendations for treatment. He asked if we had questions several times and we did not feel rushed.

Staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The doctor took his time to explain everything to me in such a manner that I could ask what I thought was a stupid question. The only draw back was the parking issue.
