Dr Hathaway is amazing Feel blessed to be in his care His nurse is wonderful Anita at the front desk was offensively impolite by ignoring me as I tried to sign in ...totally dismissed me. I stood at the desk in front of her ... only to be disregarded ,she attended to other patients checking out but still refused to acknowledge me .
