Everyone was nice and we appreciated the care. Only downside was we waited over 2 hours for the appointment.

We really appreciated the new effort to make our child as comfortable as possible during his lab work. Having the staff bring in toys and having extra people available to help keep him still was extremely helpful.

Dr. Houk was thorough and communicated well in plain English. He was comforting and accommodating. His team was very patient and pleasant. I believe we finally have the right Dr. for our daughter. My wife and I were truly excited after the appointment. Thank you Wellstar!

Doctor was wonderful, nurses was great, very nice, friendly, covered everything. My only complaint is you cannot get in touch with y'all. Y'all have no office number. And even the pharmacy was saying that we went to the hospital to get these prescriptions because that's the number y'all gave them was a hospital number and they was all confused too. And I can't call y'all because it's just a hospital number. So y'all definitely need a phone number to y'all's office. That's the only complaint I have, thank you.

The staff in endocrinology is very good in specifics to the nursing staff. They're excellent. The physician, though, I don't see how he's even a physician, to be honest with you. He's extremely crass, rude, and quite egotistical. I really feel that he needs to maybe retire. You guys need to hire someone new, or he needs serious lessons in proper patient care and how he speaks to families and his patients.

Dr. Houk is an amazing doctor and amazing provider. However, Wellstar's system upgrade completely compromised the care of my daughter and lost her appointment. So getting back in the system was very frustrating. And telephone numbers through your hospital at Augusta Children's Hospital is a nightmare. And I strongly suggest you upgrade your phone tree in your real person response availability. Thank you.

I was at your office for almost two hours waiting to see a doctor that was overbooked, that didn't have time for us. And once we did get into the actual room to see the doctor, he walks in and was only in there three minutes. So I don't know what kind of service y'all expect or are giving, but this is inadequate on every level. I'm sorry, y'all said he's the only specialist in the area. Well, then don't overbook because everybody in the waiting room is complaining about how long they have been there. So you got my feedback.
