- Response from the ownerThank you for the positive review!
I was treated well, if a little 'businesslike' initially. I wasn't given any explanation of what they were going to do before I met the doctor. I just followed someone from room to room to do a variety of tests. It was done very professionally but without any sort of pre-explanation. Maybe they presumed I knew what to expect. Anyway it was all done in a courteous manner and clearly very expertly. Dr. Hardten was excellent in every way.
