Dr. Healy was excellent. The appointment started early, his [Staff] was friendly and efficient, and I felt treated with respect. I particularly appreciated being able to turn around while being weighed since that makes me anxious. I found out my condition was benign, and that was great news. It could have been a 30 second appointment but Dr. Healy took the time to review my results with me and answer my questions. It only probably took 10 minutes longer but it made a big difference in my comfort level.
