I think the doctor and the staff, and especially the front desk, were excellent professionals. However, I think they should explain to the patient regarding if they're retiree, TRICARE and Medicare, explain the process on getting the appointment set up because if you have Medicare and the doctor refers you to a therapy session to do therapy, it should be explained that Medicaid does cover that. And I had to research that information. Otherwise, everything worked out fine and good job for Wellstar, outstanding. Bye-bye, that's all I have.
