For having an appointment first thing in the morning I had a decent wait.

Dr. Cannon was very attentive and was able to give advice that I could follow. Very polite and easy to talk with.
Dr. Cannon listened well, and while the steps she is taking with me didn't necessarily go as I thought they might, she communicated clearly and directly about the plan she is proposing. The visit was much better than the previous one I had with a different physician at Alliance.
I like Dr. Cannon. She is good at what she does. From my first visit on, she has provided or gotten me the care I needed!
