Went in for initial appointment and I was called into office after 5 minutes of waiting. Once in exam room I waited about 5 more minutes and Dr Ansari came in to speak with me. Dr. Ansari was personable, friendly, kind. He layed out the treatment options explaining each one very easy to understand. I was able to make a quick decision of which option would work for me. All hands on deck were then moving to arrange for the decision, and it was thorough and efficient. Dr Ansari has a kind bedside manner as well as a thorough knowledge of his work as a doctor. This office is a very well run office, which instills confidence in working together with them.
