Review for Dr. Dave
Appointment times not prompt. Wait for forty minutes to be seen. Staff is ghetto and rude. Will not follow up. Do not recommend.

Review for Dr. Vala
He is such a nice Dr. Great bedside manor as well. I would strongly recommend him to anyone of my friends, family, or co- workers. The staff that works with him is also wonderful.

Review for Dr. Urrutia
I have no problem with Dr Chamda, and the office staff is friendly. However they schedule too many patients. My last appointment was at 9:40 but I didn't see her until 11:00
