Editor’s Take
Dr. Stalling and Dr. Velasquez earn the kind of patient loyalty most practices chase for years, and visits run refreshingly on time. Karen, the esthetician, has her own fan club for facials and laser hair removal. The grumbles cluster around the office itself, with a couple of recent reviewers describing text-only insurance communication. Go for the doctors; keep an eye on the admin side.
