Patient Experience Reviews
Wonderful experience. I called ahead to let them know we ran into rush hour traffic. (Called 30min prior to appointment time) when we got in we were past the 15 minute grace period. They still took us and got us back quickly. We were seen immediately by nurse and the doctor was in within 5min. They spent time with us and got to know our situation. Everything was explained clearly and we left relieved and grateful for their care and understanding. I'm so grateful they took us even though we were very late. It took us an hour and a half to get to the appointment given how far we live and rush hour. We got there 16min after appointment. I just can't thank them enough for still taking us. Receptionist was quick and kind. Thank you so much to all the staff. We appreciate you immensely.
The providers both really took the time out to listen to us all! This was a great appointment.
We love Dr. Shah! The team was great! Always very reassuring! ***
My teen son experience was very clear, easy, perfect timing, and very comfortable.
Dr. Shah made sure we *** all understood the issues and concerns around his treatment.
