I saw him less than 5 minutes. I saw his staff/APRN ? before him. I will say I was better impressed this time with the waiting area and wait time. Looks like they have made some changes for the better. Before the more the merrier and wait all day. Decided to give them another chance since it so close to home.

Told me to go to the emergency room but wouldn't call an ambulance for me. Couldn't get me out the door any faster if he would have put me in a wheelbarrow and ran me out.

I never saw any doctor at that office other than the time almost a year ago when I saw Dr. Nguyen for my trigger finger. Once again, I say, I’ve never seen a position in that office for my latest visit never. I will not ever return to that practice ever.
