My experience with this clinic has been fantastic! Dr. Denley, in particular has been so amazing. In his thoughtful and kind ways, he has guided me through two major surgeries. He was always there to answer questions, relieve fears and help keep my spirits up! The service at the clinic, is personal, professional, kind...........I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL MY EXPERIENCES AT QH WALKIN CLINIC HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS AN YEARS! The office staff, though hurried at times, have always been kind and helpful and offered personal service and assistance when needed. Dr. Buffman is also excellent. I highly recommend QH WALK IN CLINIC.
