What can we do better?

(answers:373)

Keeping me from dying of skin cancer would be good (I will behave and do the checks and annual exam to help out!!!)

#12010-11-29 11:47:11

Nothing, Thank you so much.

#22011-03-04 10:10:02

I have a suggestion: I noticed that two of the lovely rugs pose hazards to patients using walkers or who may have other mobility issues. The large rug placed at an angle and the narrow rug placed in front of the reception desk leave no room for these individuals to safely manuveur around the reception area and are likely to contribute to fall risks. I would suggest leaving these areas clear.

#32010-10-04 12:14:56

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
