from the minute I walked the reception was wonderful and I saw my doctor very quickly... very little waiting.

#42022-11-17

This is one of the best medical offices that I have visited. I see doctors in the Penn and Bryn Mawr systems and this is by far much better than any of those offices. The entire staff is friendly and accommodating. Both doctors are awesome! I have recommended you to family and friends. Keep up the great work!

Everyone was attentive and friendly. The music in the waiting room was beautiful.

I appreciated that Dr. Ringpfeil took the time to thoroughly explain everything we spoke about. She did not simply provide a professional opinion, she provided her opinion and supplemented it with an explanation that made everything clear to me. I felt like I was listened to and interacted with, rather than just spoken at (which has often been my experience with other dermatologists). Thank you!

What can we do better?

(answers:373)

everything was great.

Complain to the insurance industry that they cove too little, complain to the product manufactures that they truely charge too much for the products. I feel that the industry in general is very slow to treat because of insurance allowances. Patients have busy work schedules and pay for monthly coverage that covers too little. In one hour or less could do what multiple appointments do to remove or treat small skin defects require many visits. Should provide payment better incentives.

#22010-11-10 12:28:11

do not change a thing

#32023-08-22

I was dissapointed when my appointment was cancelled because of the snow. I had to wait 6 weeks to get another appointment. I wish that I could have been worked in sooner.

#42011-03-11 14:29:03

The lock on the door of the unisex bathroom is a little challenging in that you don't know whether it is locked or not. This was a little unnerving.

#52010-10-28 10:21:25

Today I had to wait 45 min. to see the Doctor. I understand that sometimes other appointments run over but I took time off work to come here and I felt like I spent most of my time here waiting to see her.

#62023-07-23

everything was great, i don't have any suggestions

maybe classical music on the radio? and some hunting and fishing magazines for the men. but the waiting period is so short it may not matter

#92010-11-08 11:23:38

I think I was served most excellently. I cannot thing of anything to add.
