The receptionists are very friendly. Dr. Grange is very thorough, and just the nicest man. Dr. Maw and his staff are extremely hard working, and very professional. There is a lady named Cheryl, who comes out of her office and greets me with a nice smile. Then when I'm all done; thru the magic of her fingers on her computer, I never have to pay a bill, not even a co-pay.
