    "I went for a 6 month check up thinking he was going to do tests and that didn't happen. He tried to push medication, but 6 months ago he said I didn't need it. There was no blood work scheduled before my appointment. So it was a waste of my time and definitely my money."

I am an Insulin dependent Diabetic of 72 years with additional challenges such as IPF and a significant burn wound about fifteen years ago. I simply am trying to continue my personal definitive focus on my physical/endocrine challenges and their respective management. If an apology from me is in order; I am certainly of mature and responsible stature to do so."

He's great with patients, great with explaining stuff, and has a great analytical mind for the medical industry. Thank you."

    "Had to wait over 35 minutes past appointment before getting to talk to doctor. That is unacceptable. The patients time is just as valuable as the medical staff. If the doctor can not keep to the stated appointment time then they shouldn't schedule appointments so close together. People have other things to take care of in their lives and that is why they schedule appointments. If I would have been 35 minutes late my appointment would have been canceled. I didn't get refunded my deductible for the doctor being late"

    "The system the cardiology department uses is rigid regarding late arrivals. One minute after the 15-minute late time is inflexible and not serving patients. The receptionists follow the protocol directed by the manager. They try very hard to accommodate. They are over-worked and short-handed every time I go in for an appointment. The nurse and doctor are stellar. They all are the best but the structure of the department lacks adequate receptionists and flexibility."
