Saw David. Only went once. Not a single smile was cracked by the employees. He implied I was lying about the time I arrived for my appointment. And when I wouldn't back down and accept his word he immediately changed gears, "but I want to hear ur story". When I followed up on his recommendations I found a ton of conflicting information. When I asked another Dr I'm seeing if he worked closely with this clinic there were unaware of the connection David claimed there was. 

My experience was neither impressive nor kind. I will be spending my hard earned money on someone who is not on a power trip. 

If you must go please double check the information provided before committing to high doses of drugs.
