Doctors and nurses are excellent. Reception/check-in is a problem. Also, calling to make appointments is a real problem. I continually called in l[ . . . ] only to be told there were no available appointments and that you hadn't started making [ . . . ] appointments.

The time was very close to my appointment time because, per instructions to com in 15 minutes before the appointment time. It took the doctor 25 minutes to come to my examining room.

09/16/2021

I'm pleased with my visit. I feel the system lost track of patients who have a need for periotic visits for chronic conditions and it became necessary for patients to reach out to providers.to be more proactive.

Dr McAllister knew my records and what was going on before he came in and then sometimes he would just say go ahead and tell me everything instead of some doctors you feel like you have to hit the facts because they have to leave the room soon. he was very thorough and stayed in the room until all my questions were answered.
