#102011-05-05 14:42:55What can we do better?
(answers:373)
I am perfectly happy, which is why i keep returning.
#12011-10-03 12:18:59Nothing that I could think of would be better.
#22024-12-13I 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
#32024-11-15more than adequate service!
#42025-05-05I had an appointment for a consulation for sun damage. Unfortunately, I need to see either a doctor or PA for my issue and this was not included in my appointment, so I need to make another trip. It is difficult for me to carve time out of my work day to take care of personal needs, so this is creating an inconvenience for me. I would have preferred to had the complete consultation done in one appointment.
#52011-02-14 14:14:53More appointment availability either early or later (before or after the normal 9-5 workday)
