Hello, the doctor was amazing and the two that I gave her for the first question was an accident. It needed to be a four. My finger slipped. Please correct the answer to four. We would 100% like be referring out the practitioner and look forward to her continued treatment of my son. Thank you.

The biggest problem with this provider was to make an appointment as a new patient. I had to stop by the office in person twice to finally make an appointment. I made many phone calls and left messages but had never heard anything back. Other than that, everything else was good.

Digital is a thing . Most people carry digital id cards for insurance and id can be attached to your Apple wallet. Requesting a physical copy is a hassle when you already have the providers information. Each time you guys say my insurance company name. If it was new or new patient to wellstar I could understand more but my company doesn't give us physical ID cards anymore. There digital only

Hello, I feel like people that work in the lab need to be more accountable for what they do with people's blood and where they put people's blood because it was a mishap with the blood that was taken on Monday at the facility. And we had to come back and get more blood. I'm not sure what really occurred, but I really feel like somebody should be accountable for that mishap.

This practice has been an amazing experience for myself and my daughter. We get in, they're efficient, we're not, there's no long waits. I haven't waited very long at all. The providers, whether it is actually Dr. Dowdell or the nurse practitioner, both of them have listened thoroughly to us and taken all the things into consideration and we feel like we're getting really good care there. I rate this practice a 10 out of 10 with providers 10 out of 10.

The biggest problem with this provider was to make an appointment as a new patient. I had to stop by the office in person twice to finally make an appointment. I made many phone calls and left messages but had never heard anything back. Other than that, everything else was good.

I appreciate the expedited and urgency in which we were able to get an appointment.

Hello, the doctor was amazing and the two that I gave her for the first question was an accident. It needed to be a four. My finger slipped. Please correct the answer to four. We would 100% like be referring out the practitioner and look forward to her continued treatment of my son. Thank you.
