Dr. Funk's staff is very friendly, courteous and efficient. Dr. Funk is amazing. He talks with you, explains everything completely. If you have questions or concerns or didn't understand the way it was explained, he doesn't get upset or frustrated, he explains until you understand. He's nice, he jokes, he talks to you and asks about your life as well as your passion. he actually cares about you as a human and wants to make your life better. It's hard to find a doctor like him.
