My appointment was at 10:30 and I arrived at 10:20.Although I was a first time patient, I filled out my paper work but had to wait until 11:05 to see the doctor. Dr. Railan is insightful no doubt but seemed preoccupied and over worked. She did a lot of the administrative work herself which could be avoided resulting in more time with patients if she had more staff on the floor.
