I treat all of my clients as if they were the only clients that I have. I have an open door policy. You do not need an appointment to stop by to see me or to call me. Simply call or stop by and I will drop everything that I am doing to assist you. If I am with another client, then I will politely tell you to please wait and I will get back with you or take your number, so that I may call you back.
