My Doctor was quite polite, and informed me about the procedure we need to follow to determine my treatment. He even listened to the artery in my neck which no one had ever done before even though I have been seeing a cardiologist for the last 19 months. I was very impressed with his thoroughness.

The staff was very friendly and made what could be a hard scary visit encouraging and pleasant. Dr. Effoe was knowledgeable and explained what may be going on and the treatments he recommended very well so I could understand. He also answered all my questions. I didn't feel rushed at all. I also could tell he looked at my doctor's notes so I felt confident in his explanations. I've already recommended them to family.

The receptionist was exceptional. I have experienced a great many doctor's offices and met some very competent and friendly staff, but this lady was/is the best. She knew everyone's names, knew things about them, and seemed genuinely glad to see them, etc. Very refreshing and pleasantly memorable.

This was my first visit; so I haven't established a relationship yet; but he explains them to me and let me decide without being judgemental and demanding; so this makes me consider even more my choice in treatments.

It was a good experience, from the lady at The front desk, to the very kind and friendly nurse, meeting the doctor himself, and then the check out lady who set up our next appointment. First time meeting this doctor, and he made a good impression on us, he appeared to want to understand my husband's health issues, and he was very thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate and comforting.
