Good so far

08/09/2024

I felt like both my provider and medical assistant spent a good amount of time with me understanding my history and current health concerns. In the past, my providers spent a total of 5-10 minutes with me and it felt rushed so it was refreshing to not have that experience.

Didn't have a good experience w this provider at all. I will be following up w a different Dr since my concerns aren't addressed

08/29/2023

Waiting room time was rather long. They told me to come 15 minutes in advance for checkin but that only took 1 minute so that was a waste of time. I went back 10 minutes after my scheduled time. Then had to wait again in the examining room. Total time spent for a quick 5-minute appt was closer to an hour. :(
