    ARC, seems to have the best doctors and nurses. Check in was easily done and the nurse was very pleasant, kind, and very thorough. The doctor is always very professional, concerned, and comes up with a plan that his patients can easily understand. It is great having a primary doctor and his nurse be so attentive, and actually listening to the patient’s concerns.
