I was very appreciative of the quick and very helpful care I received from the nurses and Daniel PA prior to my visit. They recognized the extreme difficulty I was experiencing and acted quickly to help resolve my breathing issues. I was most grateful for the quick appointment with Dr Samuelson and for his excellent care and kind manner. I always feel I am in the best of hands.
