    Everyone at the Farmington office are incredible. The receptionists are friendly and warm. They take care of your every need with scheduling and checking you in. They know everyone's name and make conversation. The nurses who take you in are friendly and caring. They validate your emotions and state, which is so important when you're in pain. [...] and Dr. De Lara are amazing medical professionals. They are understanding of the pain I live in and work with me to better my quality of life. I look forward to my appointment every month because of the people at that office.
