I got in on time for my appointment. The staff was prompt and very courteous. Getting X-rays was quick with a very respectful technician. Dr Urban had an appointment run over but was very apologetic, he is great. Erin was terrific before during and after administering my shots. She made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend this group to everyone.
