On routine physical, they found a mass in one lung. We have been trying to get Dr. A to give us info we need to get cat scan done. Dr. A refuses to return calls and it is almost two weeks. This tis teerible.

The Angola Office is a shambles. Dr A. needs to take control and expect more from her office staff in terms of their interaction with patients and communication between patient and Dr. Andaya! The phone system is antiquated! Her Angola patients can never reach the Lakawana office on days when she is not in the Angola office! Messages are sent to her but experience tells me that Dr. A doesn't receive the message or worse, ignores it. Dr. A needs to be more willing to contact her patients and address their concerns or answer their questions. Her receptionist needs to learn to smile and be more personable.!!!

Dr. A. is a good lady who unfortunately has become too busy to give patients attention &compassionate care they look for from a doctor. She should decide between the hospital & office- where best to focus her time & attention - can't do both & be the best at what she does,

Always available for me when I do not feel well. Was absolutely wonderful with the care she gave my daughter during her final days. She is one of the best doctors I have ever gone to. Even if I have to wait, She never rushes me. Her office staff is helpful, nice and a pleasure to deal with.
