I was told to arrive at 12:45 for a 1:00 appointment. When I arrived and went to the window, I was told to sit down and a sign was then placed on the glass that said, “Will return at 1. “ When I was placed in the exam room, I had to wait about 30 minutes before seeing the doctor. After examining me for a blocked ear, he gave me Flonase and advised me to come back for a hearing test. I am not sure I agree with the need for this.
Besides the wait time the overall experience was excellent. The staff was kind. The women that performed a hearing test on me was AWESOME!
