What People Are Saying
Excellent staff from check in to the end of my visit. Staff were helpful, explained things well, and kind. Dr. Metzler is very skilled and knowledgeable. My procedure went very well. She always takes time for questions and that is so appreciated.
I went to see Dr. Harper to get my ganglion cyst removed and he did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and making me laugh during the procedure. His nurse Trish was amazing too!
