A great hospital (03/25/2013)

Dr. Almanza was great and the staff was excellent as well (03/18/2013)
This is for all of you reading the testimonials and wondering if the clinic staff really writes them.
Nope - I went to Dr. Almanza on 3-8-13. I was treated quite well by everyone. The Dr. was very professional and competent. I wouldn't hesitate to go to him again if the need arose. Oh - and lad... * read more.
