Staff could do better job of letting waiting patients if he was running behind. Waited 1.25 hrs before being called back to waiting room. Dr. Was pleasant and informative. Answered all my questions.
I had a terrible experience I waited 15 minutes in the lobby and over a half an hour in the room he did not want to give me a Cortizone shot which I needed it I did I had to convince him to give it to me I’ll never go back to him and the nurse assistant was terrible I had to say did they forget about me sent me in the room over a half an hourVery bad experience I would try to look in the net work and go somewhere else
Compassionate, professional, an accomplished clinician thank you Dr. Echols
