Dr.P is very competent. I'll give him that. If he's only 45 minutes late for an appointment, that's awesome. He's never close to being on time. He once had the BEST PA, Lori Voss. She was stellar....and amazing, and thorough. She was the only good part of the office. She's moved on. The office staff is horrible. Olga makes too many mistakes. Her communication skills are embarrassing. Jim is a good technician. Nice guy, but because of a poorly hired and trained staff, it's time to find a new doc. Dr. P himself is a good doctor, but his staff is a deal breaker. 2 professionals in the office include PA Holly, and the lady who takes your vitals. Keep them. Dismiss Olga.

You will search far and wide to have a doctor who actually will take care of you. Ive had him watch over me in the hospital like a guardian and make sure I was taken care of.. without this guy, I would be dead by now.
