Review for Dr. Drogt
I am not new to this clinic but new with Dr. Christenson. I was very satisfied with my visit, and even though we have no conclusion to the issue going on (need to see my TMJ doc), we know it is NOT several things. I felt heard, respected and not rushed and that he truly covered everything possible...
