Everything was on time and my appointment got moved up about two weeks. That was great. When i went to check in I was told I needed and Xray of my hand. However my PCP had ordered it and I had done it a week before so it was available. I hope that can be the set up for all patients as it was time and stress saving. I got treatment right then! Thank you!
