There was not enough handicapped parking. I am profoundly handicapped with Spine issues and I had to park way out because at 8:30. The entire handicap parking area was full and I had to park out beyond it and that was way too far for me to walk.

I FOUND DR KOTHARI AND HER NURSE TO BE V. GOOD LISTENERS. THEY ASKED QUESTIONS AND FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS TO MY ANSWERS, WERE ENGAGING, GAVE ME TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TO EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS ABOUT MY GENERAL HEALTH BEYOND PULMONARY ISSUES. I FOUND BOTH OF THEM TO BE SINCERE ABOUT MY HEALTH ISSUES AND WERE ENGAGING IN THEIR CONVERSATIONS WITH ME. THEY WERE BOTH PUNCTUAL AND EFFICIENT WITH THEIR TIME AND MY TIME. I APPRECIATED THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AS WELL.

There was not enough handicapped parking. I am profoundly handicapped with Spine issues and I had to park way out because at 8:30. The entire handicap parking area was full and I had to park out beyond it and that was way too far for me to walk.
