I think the staff needs a little more training especially when you work in the health department you should be more compassionate and understanding of people's situation. So I sat there waiting for my appointment when a patient was wheeled out. She had a full brace on her leg. She had to get it out of the wheelchair and hop her way out of the office to the elevator down stairs. It wouldn't hurt for them to show some compassion and wheel them to curbside.Dr Nair was nice but he rushes you. I feel all my concerns were not answered. That's probably why everybody likes him is cuz he gets you in and out quickly. Sometimes you got to just take time and listen to the concerns of your patience.

It was the end of the day, so they were about 15 minutes late in gettng me in. However he was very quick in his assessment, and what the next steps are. As a result I was out way before I expected with a clear plan going forward. His nurse, Lupita is also very responsive and helpful.
