I can't thank enough the Novant Health Staff of Lakeside-Locust for calling in time of need. I was suffering with a strong coughing and they called me to give me an appointment right away. And, thank you, Dr. Ricardo Vargas for your kind words, professionalism and for the medication. It really worked and I am relieved and happy. Thanks to all of you!! Happy New Year 2025.
