I had not been seen by the doctor before, she knew what was going on with me pretty much as I explained and the care she provided helped. She didn't seem concerned about my pain and somewhat dismissive could just be her personality.

Dr. Rexx was very good. I will definitely go there again and would recommend her.

Intern was an excellent provider. The doctor, however was very curt and was unwilling to answer my questions. She either had a bad day or doesn't really care for the feelings for her patients. Humorlessness.

When I finally got through to the appointments desk, they told me the phone system was messed up and AT&T was there trying to fix it after 2 weeks of frustration, so my poor ratings above might not be there if the phone system was working properly. Dr. Rex and her staff were extremely busy on the day of my appointment with challenging cases, but yet squeezed me in at my appointed time and took care of my needs very efficiently. I appreciated it very much.
