I was early to my appointment because of the fear of traffic around Boston, and I really appreciated the fact that the nurse and doctor took me in a very timely manner after I arrived almost promptly. And as far as the care for my primary care doctor, Dr. Gesmundo, I trust my life with him, and so I'm satisfied he's doing a good job. Thank you.
