    "I was referred to Dr.li to do a second cut on biopsy freckle that was diagnosed as melanoma in initial sample. Instead of removing more tissue to he told me this visit was to determine a treatment plan. I have had multiple visits to do this in the past and have never had a consultation. The visit always just to remove tissue and to get cleaned boundaries. What a waste of money for a consultation."

    "I was referred to surgery by my General Practitioner who is in the same clinic. It took 3 weeks to get in, then the doctor wanted to refer me to another surgeon. I accepted only to find out when making the appointment at the front desk that this surgeon was booked out over a month. Then a received a call saying my appointment had to be pushed out another 2 weeks. Waiting that amount of time (2 months) for medical care is unacceptable."

    "I appreciate both Dr. Li and Ashley very much. They were both at my appointment on the 7th. They both very nice and courtesy and very understanding. I would appreciate maybe just a sheet for wound care recommendations and other after care information just because I had a hard time remembering what Dr li recommended after my I&D but my fiance helped. I appreciate their responsive to questions I've had after the fact. They both very obviously have genuine care and understanding and being good about explaining why certain things are done. While I might not always like their response, I appreciate their care and genuine support."

    "I had informed the nurse I had this procedure done 9 years earlier. The doctor did not review that test to compare to my current symptoms. I felt that would have been a better way to assess what was happening now. I felt my appointment could have as easily been done over the phone."
