Overall was a very good experience. [...] (Front office) was terrific! Nurse [...] was okay; always a rush format and didn't want full details (doctor always busy). Dr. Shakir was attentive and I liked him very much. Comprehensive and ordered imaging that will provide more. Will return on [...] for results and to discuss treatment.
