Feb 07, 2024
The staff from entry to discharge were kind and efficient. Dr. Chidgey was approchable, listened attentively to my condition description, and after exam thoroughly explained his assessment with possible options, then included me in the decision process. I very much appreciate Dr. Chidgey's professional care at my visit and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
