What WE DID WELL
(Answers:674)
Woderful atmosphere and service
#12025-09-03the staff is terrific....
#22026-03-23Facility was very contemporary. Very welcoming.
#32011-05-02 09:29:24The music and the abience in the office was superb!
#42025-08-23Doctor was very direct and specific on probable course of treatment and potential effectiveness.
#52025-04-07I liked the fact that they took me in right away and everyone was very pleasant.
#62011-11-02 12:13:13I was scared that I had something on my face after my laser treatment. As it turns out Jill took a second look and told me it was normal and it will resolve. The reason why I tell you this is because Lisa at the front desk was instrumental on making sure I was followed up and that my fears were elevated. Lisa was outstanding! From my experiences in the past, I find most people at the front desk don't really care about the patients. However, I did not get that from Lisa. She kept in contact with me until I was completely satisfied with my care. She really is a professional and deserves recognition. Her job is the most important one in the office. I have left other offices in the past because I didn't care for the staff. That won't happen here! Hats of to LISA!!!! P.S. The computer in the waiting room is AWESOME too!!!
#72012-12-06 11:38:48THE MUSIC! WOW. IT REALLY WAS AMAZING. PLEASE DO A BEST OF CD.

#12010-09-09 11:12:17Nothing - excellent.
#22011-01-25 12:57:52Later evening hours and/or weekend hours.
#32011-05-27 15:59:15Thank you
#42011-02-23 17:11:29don't change a thing!
#52026-02-05All fine
#62025-08-26I would have liked to pay in cash but the receptionist had no change.
#72025-11-20WINE AND CHEESE WOULD BE NICE IN THE WAITING AREA
#82011-02-09 12:32:20The 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.
#92010-10-28 10:21:25My advice would be to continue doing exactly what you are presently doing. I had a very good first impression of Dr. Ringpfeil and the practice. Thank you.
