I came to my appointment 12 minutes before my scheduled time. The lady took my information, she took my name, she told me, okay, have a seat and we will be with you in a minute. I sat there for an additional 15, maybe 17 minutes. No one said anything. Then when they got ready to call me to the back, she addressed everyone by their last name, but then when it came to me, she just said my first name. Then she turned around and said my last name and then mispronounced my last name. So no, I would not recommend this practice to anyone. Thank you.

Yes, I feel that Dr. Khakharia could improve in his approach and personable manners with the patient. He was somewhat robotic and didn't listen all that well and came across very stoic. So consequently, it was hard to build a rapport with him, although I was smiling. I was trying to interact with him in a manner that would yield some kind of personality or feedback that was not present. So therefore, it hindered my communication with him. I didn't feel comfortable presenting all the information I had, and I'm not sure he listened to everything I had to say. So consequently, I gave the rating that I gave.
