“Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care in a warm and friendly environment. The key to successful treatment is listening to patients and treating their individual needs. My patients receive one on one attention because there is no such thing as a minor health concern. Educating patients is critical, so I explain what needs to be done and encourage patients to ask questions. My staff and I are committed to patient satisfaction and the highest level of quality care.”  — Bart Sterling, MD
