Verified patient
The doc was great the nurse was great but when I walked into the lobby, I waited about 20 minutes before I was ACKNOWLEDGED. I don't mind waiting 30 minutes, but at least ask me HELLO SIR ARE YOU OK/NEED HELP/HOW CAN WE HELP. I could clearly overhear how "she was so ready to go home and [she] should have gotten off 20 minutes ago" but I feel that these types of comments, especially in a doctors office, make the whole branch look bad-- people have their livelihood in the balance and I feel that maybe she was just having a bad day. I still give the doc and the nurses all 11 stars as they were very straightforward, transparent.
Verified patient
Fantastic all the way.

Verified patient
Thank you so much !
Verified patient
Quick appointment, met my needs.
I absolutely love my doctor. He was friendly, he has great Pt-Dr rapport and he was extremely thorough. The office staff was extremely friendly! They all displayed a friendly disposition, even the ladies in the office near the exit greeted me as I passed by to exit the back area. Overall, I would highly recommend this location over the Main campus. Not to say that staff there isn’t as friendly but I must say that I love the more intimate setting at Gessner location. 10 ??s across the board! Thanks to all of you for making my visit a great one.
Verified patient
Quick, easy, super convenient, and effective.

Pretty good MD, timely, but my insurance was not accepted so I ended up paying out of pocket despite DocZoc showing that my insurance was accepted.
