I have al;ways liked the Doctor and the satff

#32010-11-17 15:23:04

as a man and coming in to see a doctor is usually awkward especially a female doctor to look over your entire body. The staff made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Thanks so much.

#42025-05-17

The doctor explained things thoroughly to me. She was able to treat a couple of skin growths on site today. I was given a couple of sample products as well as a coupon toward the purchase of one of the prescribed products that I am to use.

I liked all rthe art work that was hanging up in the hallways. I also liked how friendly everyone was. It seemed as though they all wanted to be here. Some times at otjher places the people at the counter can be disrespectful. Not here. The or was very caring and explained the treatment in terms that we could understand.

#62025-04-15

Once in the examining room, I was treated professionally by both individuals whom I saw.

#72011-06-01 16:55:08

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. I especially liked having a nice big clock in the waiting room.

Friendly staff and doctore

#92025-07-19

The friendliness of the staff; I felt like the doctor really cared and wasn't just rushing me through the appointment. I felt heard and seen and appreciated.

Parking was a little tight.

#12011-06-09 15:52:46

Its hard to find anything that you guys didn't do correct. Keep up the good work

#22011-08-03 11:52:57

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

#32025-10-22

Improve the movement of the mouse on its pad.

#42025-08-11

just keep giving me good news and no cancer.

#52025-05-19

This was my very first visit; as a result, some of the questions above jump the gun a bit. However, the initial visit was a pleasant experience.

#62025-11-13

Service was excellent!

#72010-09-30 13:09:12

If it's not broke don't fix it...everything was handled very well

#82025-06-04

I recommended this practice to a family member but they showed up 15 mins late to their first appt. due to traffic and were turned away (after traveling over an hour to get here). I would suggest on the first visit to allow more leeway for late appointments (try to fit them in) and then explain the late policy for all appointments moving forward.
