Mammogram

Got me in an out with no wait. Very professional and friendly.

Annual Well Woman Exam

I think Dr. Kurtz is the best , as she was this time. However my wait times were terrible. 15 minute wait for the mammogram. 25 minute wait for the ultrasound, i actually had to ask if they had forgotten about me, then another 15 minute wait to see Dr. Kurtz. I do like very much that I can do all 3 in the same visit, but I work full time and the wait times were stressful
