What can we do better?

move closer to home

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.

#22010-10-04 12:14:56

It was good

#32022-06-17

Medical newsletters or updates are helpful and informative. If it is advisable to have an annual mole check, for example, friendly reminders are always appreciated.

#42022-04-30

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

#52011-02-02 11:01:42

The only (minor) thing that I was disappointed in was that when I booked the appt. via phone, I was told that in addition to my cosmetic questions and consult, the Dr. would also be able to do my full body check. It turned out that there was not enough time to do both.

#62011-07-27 15:04:39

I'm completely satisfied, thank you.

#72010-11-09 11:24:08

I've never been in a medical office that was so warm and inviting. The decor and overall appearance has the feel of your living room but also reminds you that you are in a clinical environment as well. This practice surpasses my expectations in every way, from the staff, dress code, advances in technology and overall care of the patient. I was made to feel that my care is your number one priority.

#82011-04-29 11:02:03

You guys did great. This was a great experience for me

#92010-09-22 12:31:41

you cannot serve me any better than I was served today
