Dr. Merchant has a skilled, professional, and warm manner. Office staff, overall, are efficient with varying degrees of patient interaction skills. I'm mentioning this aspect of the practice since one front desk staff person, in particular, who greets and oversees patient arrivals, displayed a very brusque, off-putting manner to not just myself but other patient arrivals. This person is the first interaction with the practice for patients.
Courtesy is called for. I will respectfully bring my concern to whoever functions as the office manager. This person would benefit from interaction skills training.
