Staff is always wonderful. Wait today was exceptionally long and severe weather and tornado warning in the area. Was able to get X-rays but still 3 people ahead of me after two hour break. Asked to reschedule and was told that was fine. Just an exceptionally busy day with a lot of people who seemed in pain. Wanted them to be seen. I understand I was that person once and I know Dr Duffy will take good care of them. No problem for me to reschedule.
