I got a quick appointment P.A. Mike S. is great in explaining the x-rays personality and knowledge leaves no doubt in your mind that this the place to be! The whole office staff from nurses to the receptionists are very thorough. I always have total confidence in Dr. Suprok and P.A. Mike Skropeta! I hope I spelled their name correct! :)
