    The check out process was quite frustrating. There are 3 desks and 3 people working, however only 1 was taking care of patients the other 2 were on the phone. I'm sure they were working, but the line was getting quite long and the patient the 1 was helping took a very long time!! I was just ready to leave and call in when I got home, when another desk opened to patients. And the original patient was still being helped when I left. I do understand why it sometimes takes quite some time. It would just be nice to have more open desks helping

    My provider is thorough, friendly, and anticipates what I will need to be aware of. Today I was scheduled for labs, but when I arrived, there was no order for them. It would have been helpful to know not to arrive an hour before my regular appointment if the need for labs had been changed.

    I requested a video visit on the day of my appointment due to severe weather. The scheduling staff & nurses immediately got together and within minutes my video visit was approved. Video worked great - FYI: we were under a tornado warning at the time the visit was going!

    My biggest problem is I've not been able to get on my chart. I cannot get on my chart. I have tried many, many times and my girlfriend also been on my chart for herself and for me and cannot get on my chart. Who do we contact? Because we don't know what the follow-up is on things until we get paper readout from our meetings that were there or appointments. Thank you.
