“The doctor was professional, capable, and easy to talk to. Even though my symptoms did not suggest anything serious, he still took my concerns seriously and addressed the longer-term issues I had been dealing with before the appointment.
The problem was the staff. Aside from one very friendly person at the front desk, most of the front desk staff and aides were rude, disengaged, and clearly uninterested in patients. They mumbled with boredom and disinterest when calling people up, and it was bad enough that multiple people in the waiting room were confused about whether their name had even been called.
I was also told to get an X-ray before seeing the doctor. When I asked whether it was actually necessary and why, the only answer I got was “yes.” No explanation, no effort, nothing.
It is frustrating because the staff reflects badly on a doctor who was actually very good. The practice seriously needs to improve its front office culture or replace the people creating that experience.”
