Had my labs done today went in restroom in the lab and the bathroom smelled like urine pretty bad. I was there early morning and it should not have had an odor like that. I was not happy with the odor it smelled like a men's bathroom like someone urinated on the floor.

The front office staff was kind. They were prompt. They were detailed. Dr. Garland herself is a very kind lady. She listens intently. She seems to be very smart and very solutions-oriented. She's not the warmest. She's friendly, but she's not very warm. She's kind of business, kind of straight to the point. Yeah. But it was an overall good visit.

Wellstar overall is a great company. However, my experience with Dr. Garland seemed very robotic and very impersonal. She didn't look up at me one time while, even though I was a new patient, she was getting my information. She didn't look up, give me any eye contact. When she was talking to me, it just seemed as if she didn't really care. It was the first time. I'm just used to a doctor just showing a little more compassion. It was just like she was asking questions, getting the answers. If I gave her too long of an answer, she would cut me off, like to basically tell me to get to the point. I thought that I would give her more than enough information being that she didn't know me at all. Yeah, I probably, well, it's not probably. I wouldn't see Dr. Garland again. Maybe it was just the day that she was busy. I'm not sure. It was a Monday. But that was a first impression.

Dr. Kia, she was an excellent doctor. I really appreciated the time with her. She told me a lot of stuff that I knew about, but it was reassuring hearing it from her as her being a doctor. If Dr. H. still wasn't my doctor, I would request her. Thank you, doctor.
