I was first in line, so I can't comment on wait time because as soon as I got there they went through my paperwork, processed me in, got me set up with the gown and did all of the hookups and rolled me in to the procedure room. As soon as I came out from under anesthesia, Dr. Jenkins gave me the results. Of course they also went over the results with my wife later on.

I would recommender this great group of doctors with my health care needs."
