DR RINGPFEIL'S CLEAR OPENNESS TO QUESTIONS

#22011-01-05 15:21:33

taken promptly for appointment

#32010-11-08 14:14:51

The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The doctor herself is a pro, I was very impressed and will definitely recommend her to others, especially of my race. Its very hard to find a good dermatologist and I believe she is wonderful and really knows what she's doing. I am glad that I came here, thank you.

#42011-11-10 12:40:32

No wait time for appointment - attentiveness of PA

What can we do better?

(answers:373)

I do not like waiting long periods of time in either the reception area or exam room fort he Dr to come in. The exam with the Dr should be relatively close to the appointment time

#12025-10-24

A follow up, even if its an email, after the apt. could help!

#22010-08-23 16:38:55

May be by considering the comfort of the patients by allowing a grace period of atleast10-15mins and also by functioning on weekends too

#32025-08-17

The music in the waiting area could be a bit softer.

#42025-10-20

please change the paintings in the reception area....

#52011-02-02 11:01:42

Keep doing what you are doing!

#62025-10-25

No changes recommended at this time.

#72025-12-01

maybe offering a bit more evaluation of options -that I haven't already thought of or asked about- for skin care and amelioration, as I am not certain what exists

#82026-02-27

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.

#92010-10-28 10:21:25

service wonderful!
