I would like to see better co-ordination between my Pharmacy (Wallgreens) and Wellstar, regarding scheduled medications and recommended vaccinations. I'm not a fan of multiple trips.

I love Dr. Kara's practice. I love Dr. Kara. I am a new patient as of May. I've been thrilled with my service with the doctor and with the practice and the ease in scheduling an appointment. I love my chart and how my results are there. So I love what they're doing and keep up the good work.

Love my Dr but this was the fastest appt I've had with him. Discussed getting a flu shot, we both obviously forgot that. Prescription sent to wrong provider for main ailment visit. When my prescription service reaches out to get a prescription renewed, I ALWAYS have to follow up, as they get no response. Very frustrating. I know Wellstar is all about the money, but the fukin patient comes first, not fees.

I've seen Dr Kara for a few years. Probably my all-time fav doctor. Today we had to have an awkward conversation, but he's relatable and professional. He gives me information I can clearly understand and helps me with other resources for additional care I may need. 10 out of 10 every time!

DR KARA AND STAFF PROVIDED EXCELLENT PATIENT ATTENTION. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE CARE I RECEIVED ON MY VISIT AUGUST 27.

My apt with Dr. Kara was canceled at the last minute TWICE. Each time a few days before my apt I received a note in MyChart saying the provider canceled and that I need to reschedule - no one from the office even bothered to call me. This happened twice and I called and she just said "these things happen" and it was completely on me to work out a new. This was after I took time off work to be there twice. Not professional.

The phlebotomist who took my blood: Tell her it's just a job. It's not a big deal. Relax. She was tense when she came to get me. She eventually relaxed. She never said a word about anything being wrong, but I sensed she was bothered about something. She should not let coworkers get on her nerves. She should not get on her coworkers' nerves. She should stay alert and on her post, being proactive, attentive to the list, and just flow with the workload. Relax! ??
