I had a little bit of a hiccup after scheduling, when I tried to move my appointment to a slightly earlier time. I found Lindsay and Magruder to be incredibly responsive to patient concerns, and that is even before I've walked through the door and met the doctor. I can see why Lindsay and Magruder has 5 stars. They appear to be very deserving of such high ratings, and I'm looking forward to moving forward with services from this office. Based on what they've shown me so far, I believe the quality of services will be top notch.
