45 minutes late, while I realize he was tied up with another patient, a courtesy hey hes running behind at 20 minutes in would have been nice from someone.

Dr was super understanding with my phobia of receiving shots/needles. Prescribed alternative methods of calming for next appointment.

This Dr. took extra time to care for me and I'm not even his actual patient. That spoke volumes and I appreciated that more than he knows. The team that helped me when I came in, went over and above the call of duty. I am truly grateful. Thank you!

He was a nice younger doctor and did a good job. I'm not sure I got all the answers I needed about the diet I should follow but I'll figure it out.

Use of cellular phones, Wi-fi inside of the hospital buildings is not very effective. Online check in is a hit or miss with online devices
