They listen you feel like they care
A good experience. Stacy was very helpful and pleasant when greeting me at her window. She explained how to fill out the info required. The nurse was extremely nice with her questions and taking blood pressure. Dr. McNamara was bery thorough talking about my problem and the procedure he would preform. No complaints at all about my visit other tham the length if time when the procedure would be done... 2 days before Christmas! However, part of that was my fault as I preferred to habe it done in my home town rather than Tulsa.
Dr. Patrick Volak is a great doctor. Could not find a better doctor. I appreciate his care very much.
Dr. McNamara is thumbs up. Appointment Staff needs more Knowledge and Team work.
Great staff, clean office, excellent compassion and care. Highly recommend and in fact I already have to some family. Grateful to be his patient.
