Reviewed on Jul 14, 2020
overall satisfactory. the only problem I experienced in the past was the scheduling of appointments beyond the 6 month period when the calendar is available. Because an appt. for 6 months in the future might be in 2021, the appt cannot be scheduled. In the past for another dr., I was called by the office, and then the appt. couldn't be scheduled in for several months past the time I was to come in.

Very good doctor. Scheduled tests for me. The doctor took the initiative to schedule tests for me that had not been performed for several years.

appreciated that at end of appointment he asked if I had any questions, a practice not all providers utilize
Reviewed on Jun 26, 2020
my appointment was cancelled and rescheduled at least 2 times, I don't think because of the Corona virus. But since I was not reallly having any critical health issues I needed to talk to Dr. about, I didn't mind the changes in scheduling, I did get to see him. I realize he is a busy person with other duties that need attention, so it's been OK with me.
