What can we do better?

(answers:373)

Everything was outstanding

#12011-11-18 16:18:36

I would have liked to pay in cash but the receptionist had no change.

#22025-08-06

Everything was very clean and I cannot think of much you could do better.

#32025-10-09

Keep doing what you are doing now..make sure no one slips, then I will make sure I write about it.

#42026-05-02

So glad I came. Always liked Dr. Kern and Ann Watson. He'd be so pleased with your entire professional setup

#52026-01-18

Don't change a thing

#62010-12-14 13:17:28

Nothing - excellent.

#72011-01-25 12:57:52

I 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.

#82011-02-14 14:14:53

A sign in front of office to locate parking for first timers would be helpful.

#92026-03-28

Shorter wait
