“I recently moved to Hicksville and was looking for a new doctor — what a find! The building is newly renovated and very clean. The staff are super nice and friendly, quick, and answered any questions. There’s a big open parking lot in the back, so easy to get in and out. I did a full physical and the whole process was relaxed and friendly — I could ask anything and had zero issues. Highly recommend if you live in the area.”
