It was hard to find the office and I have back problems so was difficult to walk the distance from parking to the office. Then I had to pay to park which I dont anywhere else. I think the office should compensate for parking. Its not our fault the doctor is in a building that charges for parking.. also when leaving the office the parking deck is not obvious where it is. There needs to be a sign as to which way to elevators that go to the parking decks.

The practice is clearly being over-scheduled which is disrespectful to both the staff and patients but I don't think that will be news to anyone who sees this, unfortunately. No one should have to wait for an hour for an appointment once, let alone multiple times, and I feel bad the doctor is apologizing for the wait when I assume he has no control over it with a large company.

Parking and getting into the office is very difficult, especially with someone in a wheelchair or walker. The fact that valet doesn't work very often is very difficult. When I arrived, they said their system was down so they weren't working anymore that day. It also happens often that with a late appointment, they won't do valet because they might not get to leave early. Having a more consistent and available valet would really help the inconvenience of the parking situation there.
