Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2020
The doctor was great, funny, and very helpful. But, my god the secretary is beyond rude. God forbid you ask for her to repeat any information of dates and times so you can ensure you have the correct information. Then when surgery is scheduled and you have so many instructions thrown at you, she gets evidently very mad if you ask her to repeat something. I get if I asked multiple times, but repeating something once should not cause that kind of reaction. Recently called regarding a voicemail she left and she just says "I didn't leave a voicemail saying that" in a frustrated tone. I literally have you on tape??? Overall, doctor was worth it. But, I wish there was a different secretary.
