The wait was way too long. Filling out forms also took way too long. My personal and insurance info was taken by ZocDocs before the appt was scheduled, again with the office staff in the phone, they took my personal and insurance info at the front desk, then I needed to fill out several forms that asked for yet the same information. Very inefficient and inconvenient. Outside of the that, the medical staff as a whole, nurses, techs and doc, were fantastic.
