Everything was great except for two things. They didn’t know I was scheduled for 11:00 on May 2nd at the Kaufman office. I made my appt through Zocdoc and got a confirmation. The staff was great and worked me in so I was lucky. Neither I nor them know what went wrong. A glitch happened with my prescription being called in. Somehow the message from Dr. Zhao/assistant didn’t get communicated and it was not called in until I called from CVS inquiring about it. The office left me a text that it was called in around 5:10 PM that day, but It was the next day before I could go back to town to pick it up.

Professional. From the front desk check in, medical assistant to meeting Nurse Practioner and Doctor. They all welcomed my questions. Explained the "why" of the treatment plan. Requested a follow up within enough time to determine effectiveness. Did I mention my questions were welcomed? Its worth repeating.
