YES! Call them and they will get you taken cared of. Diana was amazing she got all of our paperwork, explained our coverage, and out of pocket cost for services that was not covered. Doc was just soooo kind and gentle. I have a list of things he recommended and went into details of what the process would look like. Can't wait to see the end results.

I recently had a procedure that would usually involve a concerning degree of pain and trauma. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I had virtually no discomfort during the procedure and very little during the following days. All thanks to Dr. Futenma using the latest technique and state of the art laser technology. He definitely stays ahead of the learning curve much to the benefit of his patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough
