    "I received a follow up call from Dr Blands nurse when I got home to make sure I understood what my next steps were. That was great but a printed version when leaving would be helpful. No other doctors there do it but it would be helpful rather than having to check on line if I was unsure of what I needed to do."

    "The desk gal was very short with me when I was trying to make a return appointment. She gave me one time and said that was all they had. It would have meant that I would be driving home in the dark, and I don't drive at night. She finally gave me a early afternoon appointment. She should smile a bit more."

    "I have a kidney checkup once a year. I'm thrilled that my lab work came back positive and I got a clean bill of health. My meeting with Dr. Bland took less than 5 minutes. Prior to Dr. Bland taking over my case, [REDACTED] was my Nephrologist. My meetings with [REDACTED] were quite thorough and took approximately 15 minutes. He asked me many more questions and went over my numbers from the lab work, which Dr. Bland does not do. Again, I'm pleased that my kidney is doing well. I just felt like [REDACTED] took more of a personal interest in my kidney health than does Dr. Bland."

Talking under her breath to a coworker next to her with me standing in front of her surprised. After coming to numerous appointments and departments at Medical Associates this was the first I remember feeling it was an inconvenience to help me. A nurse followed up shortly after my appointment with additional information for me so that was helpful. Only cause for concern was the receptionist."

    "I entered this appointment with some fear about my ongoing high blood pressure issues, and after my first contact with the nurse I started to feel at ease. She listened to my medical story, (not just reading my chart), and her demeanor made me feel better. It didn't stop there as the dr. acted in the very same way, but went further into explaining the reasons for planned (multiple) tests. He did all this all while being mildly positive about my prognosis. The scheduling nurse couldn't have been nicer as we fit my future appointments into my calendar. Kudos to that whole office!!"
