The staff and faculty were very good, very nice to us, but one drawback was I had questions about my daughter's medication afterwards and despite several calls and messages, I did not get to, I did not hear back from a nurse about those questions. So my questions went unanswered and that is, that's a big no for me. So I would love to see that improve if it's at all possible. Thank you.

I was very dissatisfied with this visit. The provider was dismissive and unprofessional. She spent only a few moments in the room, did not perform a physical exam, did not assess the area of concern, and did not order any diagnostic tests herself. There was no attempt to discuss a gastrointestinal evaluation, differential diagnosis, or treatment plan. Despite my explaining ongoing gallbladder-related symptoms and prior ER visits, the provider offered no education, no assessment, and no explanation. I was immediately referred to the hospital for another ultrasound without any discussion or clinical interaction. The visit felt rushed and inattentive, and I did not feel heard or cared for as a patient. I paid my copay for what amounted to no meaningful evaluation or guidance. This experience did not meet the standard of care or professionalism I expect.
