For all my visits, the staff at MGA have been most helpful. For my latest visit, they found an appointment for the day I called. The appointment time was convenient for me. The nurse, Carlene, was very pleasant and Dr. Schibler, as always, was ready to listen and discuss my issues and provide what I believe to be appropriate medical treatment. My MGA visits have always been professional and courteous. Thanks to all of you.
