    Dr Huffman is excellent, his treatments are extremely effective (giving good results) but the long waits between appointments, eliminates the effectiveness of the previous visit.

    The doctor that I saw, Dr. Huffman, he is excellent, always so helpful and listens. And I'm not sure what the name of the girl is that checks me in. Both of them are actually so friendly, so helpful, and personable. It's really a great environment waiting for my appointment. Thank you.
