Would like to leave 5 stars but Dr. Anstead was an hour and a half late and no apology until I eventually brought up that I had been in the clinic for 2.5 hours (30 min early as asked for paperwork, another 30 minutes alloted for the 5 minute CT Scan in her clinic), and her staff told me this was typical tardiness. It also felt rushed. I always apologized to my patients if I was late.
