The doctor was very helpful and kind, but it took forever to be seen. We arrived 25 minutes early for our appointment, and we're not seeing by the doctor until an hour after our appointment. After a brief consultation, they put in my box and needed us to wait another 30 minutes, followed by a further delay for a room. That's a long time to wait for a little kid!
