Very good visit and feeling

10/24/2024

I feel that the provider is often on a time limit and must not take a lot if time for discussion. He asks if I have questions but I can’t always keep all the questions I may gave in my mind in order to ask them when the opportunity arises.

I liked Dr. French but I'm not good at the doctors office, and to feel rushed just puts me out even more and makes me feel uncomfortable making me hold back on my issues. I need a relatively calm conversation please.

10/21/2023

Excellent care

10/15/2023

Happy that this time I could actually get a same day appointment, but very disappointed when I was asked to be seen about an hour earlier, which was fine with me, but I ended up waiting for almost 30 minutes to be seen. I actually called the office to ask about the wait time, they told me that it would be a few more minutes. Ended up being an additional 25 minutes. Not sure where the miscommunication was, but I wasn’t very happy about it.

10/07/2023

Dr French was my doctor here in Alpena years ago. When he moved to Chelsea we followed him even though it is a four hour drive one way. I trust him and his care.
