Feb 2024Now this is how to run a medical facility! I had intermittent knee pain, so I got a quick appointment with Dr. Charles Craven. My appointment was for 9:20 and by 10:20 I was walking out with a plan of action for my knee after having x-rays taken and thoroughly explained (to me) by Dr. Craven, an extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and caring physician, who patiently answered all of my questions. Everyone in the clinic, from the receptionist onward was unfailingly professional and kind. This was the best treatment I've ever had in any medical clinic, and I've been through a lot of them!
