I try to have appointment 1st thing in the morning. Last visit I waited 1.5 hrs outside and when I went in the examine room associate told me she didn't know when doctor could see me because there were 3 people ahead of me. I had to go to work thus left without seeing the physician. I am confused as to why office had overbooked the time. I also work for living , I don't have unlimited time.

I met Dr Houda during my hospital stay and he performed my surgery and explained the surgery and answered all of my questions. I felt comfortable with him performing my surgery and my follow up visit went just as smooth. I would like to thank Dr. Houda and his team and staff for all of there work.
