I filled in my paperwork online ahead of time so that saved me from having extra waiting time in the lobby. There was only a few people waiting, so I got called in no time. Dr. Kennedy listed to all of my concerns and questions. Very nice office, clean building, and friendly staff.
Verified patient
My visit with Dr Kennedy was great and informative. My paperwork was lost in the shuffle and therefore I was not seen in the order that I should have. That was very upsetting to know I was lost in the shuffle.
My visit was quite quick and what I went for was taken care of right then & there - awesome!!! Dr. Kristy and her staff were very friendly and easy to talk to. The only downside was finding the office...perhaps put some big numbers on the side of the building so visible from College St. :o)
Verified patient
Very good. I would certainly recommend.
