He's the best

This provider is pretty slow. So if you have something that you need done right away, I would suggest finding another means of getting that done. I'm not sure if it's due to people needing to be at the doctor's appointments for kids and things like that for this time of year, but they were really slow and I had an emergency.

I trust Dr. Daprano at Jay Glenn Health Center. He's a good doctor. I've been up under him for a while. And if your meds are working, he doesn't try to change things. He doesn't try to get you to take high-price medications. He tries to keep you healthy the best way he knows how. And so far, it's been working good.
