Dr. Slappey is the BEST!! Very compassionate and caring, a good listener, excellent bedside manner!
Very good, nice great conversation.
New patient visit was very thorough and he gave detailed explanations.
It never fails appt is scheduled for 10:45am I was called into office at 11:03am and was seen by a practitioner instead of the actual doctor 45mins later. The nurse that came in to gather the pre diagnosis lack empathy and was very unfriendly. I guess that’s the energy with the staff because the individual that administer the injections had the same exact energy cold , lack empathy, non caring. This is the exact reason I stop attending and the only reason I returned was my pain level was unbearable. Dr Slappey you and team should do better when it comes to customer service regarding your patients as well as inform the patient ahead of time that they will be meeting with a substitute and not the actual doctor. Please be mindful of your patients time because if we are a few minutes late the patient gets rescheduled but yet we wait 45 mins or more to express what we are feeling with only a 10 minute window.
Kind and caring! Explained everything in detail! He was not rushed! Gave me two shots in my knee that were painless!!!
