For a procedure that can make some people very anxious I had an excellent visit. The support staff provided exceptional service and their pleasing personality made it a calming experience. They were friendly informative and extremely professional. Dr. Lacey is simply the best. His skills as a doctor allow him to offer a painless and event free procedure. Most rewarding was the time he spent with me answering my questions and offering me a lot of information to help me in the future. He’s a fun guy to talk with too. I don’t normally write reviews but I felt it necessary to share what a wonderful group of professionals this is.

Not a bad word to say about the staff and the facilities. I've been a patient here for 4 years now and have the highest levels of trust in the crew there. Everyone who helps to make the wheels turn at that place are great. Love my Dr., I'll be honest I'm not going to butcher his name but you know who you are. Thanks to all of you. Paul K.
