A visit to a doctor's office can often be stressful, but this one was not so. My appointment was moved up due to another person's cancellation, and from the moment I arrived, I knew I was in an office where the patient was important. The waiting room was not full, indicating to me a doctor who didn't overbook. Although everything was running behind schedule by a half an hour, I was called in, proceeded through intake, and then seen by the doctor himself. I was impressed that he reviewed with me my complete medical history, then listened to my concerns, and lastly told me what all the possible causes could be. Once tests were ordered, he did an exam and we were done. All along the way, I was comforted by the fact that he explained all possibilities, even the unpleasant ones, and still had time for brief conversation. At no time did I ever feel I was being rushed through. Check-out and appointment scheduling was efficient and timely.
