One of the Best offices I have been in. Their friendliness and professionalism is the Best. From check in with Karen to the medical assistant Kelsey doing an EKG each step explained fully. Candace Middleton is great. Her peasant ways makes you feel at ease and her explanations are excellent. Finally her nurse Marissa is so good drawing your blood and scheduling your stress test that you are at ease leaving the office
