Over an hour wait time, no updates. Didn't understand scheduling (maybe online appointments) and list of patients were not listed on screen as they were in May. Go back to first come first served.

Great experience. They got me in and out much quicker than expected, but did a wonderful job with treatment.

I want to recognize Wendy for her outstanding customer service. She made us feel welcomed and right at home. We could have gone to Kennestone but we're glad we chose Paulding. The only draw back was we were there over 8hrs, but again Wendy was fantastic for making it worth the time.

It would be nice if you offered a service for less urgent requests and didn't have to wait 2 hours for something that can be fixed in less than 5 minutes.

Took a long time to be seen. Over 2 hours. They made me aware but that is excessive

The only issue I had was that I had to call from the exam room to get my xrays done when the xray room is literally one room over and they came and got me from the exam room to get the xrays done. Very odd to have to order your own xrays via phone while sitting in an exam room at the facility you are getting your xrays done at. Customer experience miss in an otherwise wonderful experience.

This facility is awesome. When it opened less than one mile from my house, I thought it was too good to be true. In the four visits I've made, EVERYONE (receptionists, nurses, doctors) has been unfailingly friendly, concerned, helpful, kind, competent, and compassionate. I feel very fortunate to have this group available. Being nearby is just a plus.

Imagining tried to fleece me. I could not recieve the care I needed because I could not afford a $4000 ultra sound. The self pay rate was 700 but only applies if paid in full. I got the ultra sound done for less than 200. Yall should be ashamed for charging that much. Oh and I paid 167 for my visit and was told that was it. They did nothing extra and i was billed for 247. I am not going to pay that.

Yes, I would like to complain about the length of time we had to wait. It was anywhere between three and a half and four hours. I know I was a walk-in, but I had a special needs daughter and we were there from three something and we left close to seven o'clock. So anyway, that's all I have to say. Otherwise, they're great. The people, the doctors, the nurses, everyone is fine. It was my objection is the long waits that it didn't seem other people were having. Okay, bye-bye now.

Overall, a good experience, but the staff (doctor) seemed a little distracted or distant. Basically said You have an infection; we sent a prescription to your pharmacy. That's all. Didn't discuss that I recently had the same infection. It's apparently hard to kill it. This is a different antibiotic (is it?). I'm still wondering what causes the infection and whether treatment is any different this time from last time.

The nurses are always so pleasant. As a repeat patient here, I found the Doctor to be more attentive and thorough this time in terms of listening to my symptoms and offering appropriate tests. Sometimes it feels like he's rushing through checking symptoms and even breathing but that wasn't necessarily the case this time. So, I consider that an improvement.
