“Dr. Choueka was very good, friendly, certainly knows his hand medicine, and treated me in a professional and timely manner. My appointment was for 10:45, I arrived before 10:30, and yet was not taken to the back until after 11:40. And then that had to wait almost 15 minutes for a room. This has to be resolved. I had another appointment to go and Dr. Choueka then tried to accomodate me and I was out by 12:15. A bit much.”
