I really like Dr. Fotso. I do not like the waiting time to be seen. I had a 1:45 appt,at 2:30 I had to go to receptionist to ask why I hadn't been seen yet. Very upsetting to a person who hates going to doctors in first place(have white coat syndrome) and then have to sit there that long. VERY unhappy with that situation.

Love Dr. Fotso. She is so very patient when I come in with both of my children who tend to get antsy after being in the appointment for a long period. She makes sure that she goes over everything about the visit and gives me more information to read about what my children or myself were seen for. She makes sure that I understand what is going on and why things happen or why things my not be working and comes up with a new plan.
We came in for refills for on medicines and follow-up.
