First time visit...quick check-in procedures at the front desk, took me back to an exam room in about 5 minutes, quick consult with the PA on my knee/leg pain, and then off to get x-rays for the doctor to consult before we caught up in the exam room. Dr. Gilbert was friendly and thorough. Made a quick diagnosis (hamstring strain) and gave me a solid "go forward" plan. Great overall health care experience.

The surgery went well but they were more then fine with leaving my in a lot of pain. The others were rough when shoving that breathing tube down my throat I woke up coughing lots of blood because hoe rough they were. I’m very happy with the outcome. This was my 5th opinion but it’s not fair how much pain doctors are ok with leaving their patients in. It’s scary actually. I don’t want to follow up with these people. I have taken this personal. They don’t care if I lose sleep

My daughter attends the physical therapy session so the ratings reflect her comment to me over the last several weeks. As a parent, I have experienced excellent service from the front desk.
