Report
My family and I have been coming to Dr. Short for years. He is very professional, and courteous. He is timely, and when the appointment times are backed up, the staff will let you know. The staff are great, talkative, and very fun. You can tell they love their job. The rooms are clean, and the waiting room is comfortable with a small play area for little kids.
