Very professional organization and was able to get me in very quickly! Unfortunately the first available surgery date isn't for another 6 weeks but that is probably why Dr Bates came highly recommended! I'm happy waiting knowing I'm in good hands!! Thank you

The staff was kind and seemed to enjoy their job. The lobby and exam room were clean. Dr Bates was on time with my appointment. He was kind, professional and listened to why I was there. His exam was thorough and had my CT scan pulled up to view for himself, pointing out the area of concern. Stated what his plan of care would be should I desire it. Staff handled everything from there. Timely, knowledgeable and how medical care should be. A team approach.
