Just recently started seeing Dr. Sylvia after years of seeing a different doctor there who had left.... I actually followed that dr to his new location but felt he changed and i was not happy so i came back to AEC. Glad I did! Dr. Sylvia os great! He is knowledgeable, patient, and even a little comical. I'm glad I came back to AEC.
