Patient Review by Burton M
I was extremely stressed coming into the office because I had been to 3 other appointments elsewhere and had imaging twice and have a painful tooth needing extraction. Genesis helped me resolve the issue for imaging and talked me through it all like a pro. Doc was great too. They both were very sensitive to what I had to ask and say and I appreciate that. They seem like a very busy office when you arrive but once in your room, you get all ears to whomever you are talking to. Props to them all!
