"Had an appointment with Dr. Victoria Shklar on September 10th 2025 for my Anemia work up. Very pleasant doctor took time to explain the pros and cons of Anemia work up. Explained all my concerns to the point. Her staff is courteous and called me later with my blood test results. Waiting time to see the doctor was less than 15mts. Overall my visit was very comfortable."
