    MY doctor experience was great but the new echeck in was not what I will be doing again. I have always checked in on the computer but this last time discouraged me from continuing using echeck in.

    I want to say that Sharon is an excellent provider. She explains things well. She listens to my questions. She doesn't hesitate to answer. So I know that she knows my chart and me very well. And I definitely would recommend her. So she's an excellent provider. Thank you. Bye.

    Everything was great except the check-in process that I rated as a six. It wasn't because of you guys. It was because on my end, I don't know what it was. My phone wasn't letting me check in. Evidently, I no longer know my MyChart information and it should have been a zero for me and a 10 for you guys because I'm sure it was me. I was frustrated. So anyway, sorry about that. But everything else was good. Thank you so much. Goodbye.

    I've asked to be switched to another provider before and nobody would switch me. This is the third time I've had complications with this provider, listening to my needs asked before to be switched to different medication's because mine do not feel like they are working and she continues to not listen to how I feel she questions my diagnosis from different state.
