The room that I was put into I felt was not clean enough like the floor and chair eventually that I was put into. The room was way in the back of the office area, one that I normally am not in. Bottom line I did not feel comfortable in the room. The doctor was good, followed normal practices before and after treating the patient. The room was the problem and everything else was fine.
