    Dr. Shanks was professional, courteous, and respectful as always...the nurse, on the other hand, was significantly less friendly acted at times like I was an inconvenience rather than a patient.

    The clinic shouldn't be at the hospital should be a separate building, when you make an appointment and then they want to make another one for a wellness check is ridiculous. My old clinic would just do bloodwork and email it to you for the wellness check so you wouldn't have two bills for two appointments. The only reason I use this clinic is because my doctor moved to Florida so it's close and I'm not sure I'll stick with it. The billing seems to be twice as high as my old clinic which is an hour away. I'm almost tempted to go back even though my doctor's not there any longer.
