My experience.Pre Op: waiting room almost full, appointment was 45 minutes late.Post Op: Waiting room packed and noisy from kids. Dr. Echeverri did not come in that day, his partner was supposed to see me. Appointmens were running 1 to 2 hours behind. Some Patients were leaving without being seen by a doctor. Dr. Echeverri is a good surgeon but appointment times mean nothing.
