I experienced amazing professionalism by both Dr. Lorenz and Mr. Pittman and the nursing staff, the front desk, were amazing. Keep doing a great job! You are all amazing professionals.
Very pleased with my visit. After a year of being misdiagnosed and sent to several inappropriate physicians, it's a relief to finally get quality care and in a timely fashion. I'm extremely pleased to get quality of care for my pain and discomfort. I would highly recommend Dr. Lorenz and his staff. Thank you. - Kim
