Friendly Professional KnowledgeableIn this day and age, it's disheartening to find a seemingly good doctor who is supported by a selfish, incompetent and lazy staff. I'm a Type 1 diabetic since 1963 and have seen Dr. Driss for the past 3 years. My insurance company - Medicare supplement - requires an annual pre-authorization for my prescriptions and, this year, Driss' staff has refused to comply, claiming they "don't have time!" 54 years, Type 1 diabetes, how much "TIME" do I have without my prescriptions?

Recommends Available On Time Friendly Professional Knowledgeable Nice Office Understandable Reachable Helpful StaffVery professional and observant. My cyst, bleeding on my chest, he immediately saw--at first appointment, at a critical stage of cancerous growth, and scheduled me the very next morning for a successful surgery with Dr. Schneider. Unbelievably competent and well- connected in the Pinetop-ShowLow medical community. He is quite busy, but ready to diagnose in geriatric specialities.
