    My visit was excellent, but I find this report unnecessarily bothersome. Too many questions and yeah. I was very happy with the whole experience and I could have said that in just a few words. Thank you.

    Visits with Dr Metz are always a joy. We laugh a lot. She never rushes through the appointment; test results are thoroughly reviewed and explained, questions are answered clearly. Instead of just leaving the room afterward, she always accompanies me to the checkout desk as we exchange our goodbyes. She is excellent!

    I was surprised at the condition of the exam room, especially with the updates of other departments. It is in an old hospital room, that looks very old and run down. There is not even a sink for staff or anyone to wash their hands. Very disappointing to see Nephrology in these deteriorating rooms. The medical experience, Leah Metz, MD and supporting staff were excellent.

    I like Dr. Metz really, really well. She sits and listens and I can ask her all kinds of questions or when she asks me, I try to give her the best answer I can. And I think she's just a very special person. Thank you.

    Listen, I love you guys. Love Dr. Metz. You're all great. But as far as the digital, I don't, I'm not entered to get into the, oh, what'd you call it? You know, to get in the computer or on the phone and pull up my chart and all that stuff. I haven't ever done that with you people. That's why I rate it at zero.
