“My experience was amazing. I arrived about 20 minutes early. Was checked in immediately and brought back to the patient room within a couple minutes. I explained my situation to the assistant and had X-rays done all prior to the actual appointment start time. Dr. Cooney was incredible too. He listened well, communicated to me in terms I could understand and was efficient with his treatment. I had complete trust in his knowledge of my situation based on his experience and explanation. This experience exceeded my expectations and was what I needed after not getting answers from my primary care doctor. Honestly, it was the most efficient visit I’ve ever had to a medical practice.”
