The Dr was clear and did not rush me.
But whoever takes care of communications before appointments was terrible! Said I had many different appointments on same day, Did not get back to me with sent messages. When told they will hold place in line when calling, did not call back by end of day, which they said they would do. The office staff when I arrived straightened it out. Thanks.
