Tahoe Forest/Gene Upshaw has care providers that are outstanding in every way everyday. As a patient you may not want to 'bother' to ask too many questions...but, questions are encouraged and always answered completely and without bias. I've always been told the pro/con & side effects of any medication that I'm being prescribed
