Reviewers describe years of visits; weekday hours are limited

Long-time patients who call themselves patients for life turn up in eight reviews, and seven reviews mention looking forward to coming back after a single good visit. A thorough exam is praised in five. The office is open until 6 pm Tuesday to Thursday and closed Friday through Sunday, so it is hard to fit around a 9-to-5 job.
