I see many of the Wellstar doctors throughout the year. This is the first time i have encountered a person so rude at the registration desk. If I asked a question, she would not look up at me, answered gruffly and acted like she hated her job. Never a smile, just nasty looks and blunt, sharp answers. My first time seeing this doctor so I was somewhat nervous. A pleasant person at desk who acted like they were there to assist would have meant a lot.

July 26, 2025

We have been with the doctor for years, already asked for a year out next visit and really like and respect her.
