Soooo difficult to get appointments with doctors. I do not want to see a PA or an NP. I had a terrible experience (after surgery). PA follow up. I was dismissed and no one followed up about my concerns. Three days later I was admitted through ED with my chest filling with fluid. I tell everyone about this experience. I can promise it will not happen to me again as long as I can speak.

Great team across the board. That said, I think Dr Prendes is an exceptional physician. Have had excellent experiences with virtually every doctor/nurse at the Clinic, however, Dr Prendes is especially good. He certainly has excellent skills but was also able to really engage with mecame across as being genuinely interested in me as well as the lump on food of my mouth (eg asked if I was retired). Very authenticprofessional as well as likable, warm, caring.
