Something needs to be done about the parking. I fortunately got the last space but was in the back of the building. I originally thought I would have to leave and skip my appointment. Others from the hospital must be using this parking lot. Also the wait time to get blood work. There has been a change in the last few years. I've had to leave and come back because of the long wait and another time because they left for lunch just as I finished my Dr. appt. Only 1 person was drawing blood today. Seemed to be a lot of confusion in the lab.

Seeing Dr. Craton is always excellent but getting lab work done after I'm finished with Dr. Craton is a disaster. The last time time I had lab work done I waited 50 minutes. Today I arrived at the lab at noon and the lab was closed until 1:30. After explaining my situation about having to go back to work and couldn't come back another day ( really) for almost 2 weeks, the woman working there took my blood. Might want to change lab providers since they provide poor customer service.

Dr Craton, Staff and Front Office was great and professional. Only issue I had was with Lab work- The lady was grumpy, complaining not happy or nice when she drew my blood and not professional.
