Review for Dr. Gangopadhyay
I just had an injection today and it went really well. I didn’t have any pain during the injection process and it was over pretty fast.

Review for Dr. Goswami
Dr. Benefield was very patient and attentive. She answered all our questions and took time to explain anything that was asked about. She did NOT make you feel like you were just another number. She was very personable.

Dr Humble listens to me and explains what needs to be done and why. He also offers options for treatments. When I have questions he gives answers that I understand. Highly recommend him.
