“I was a prior patient at this office (years ago) and loved Dr. Saruk, which is why I scheduled an appointment to address a new concern. Post checking in and waiting for approximately 30+ minutes, I learned that Dr. Saruk was in surgery and therefore I was going to be seen by someone else and not the Dr. I was not advised of this prior to my appointment. I felt my wait time was excessive and I honestly was moments away from rescheduling. I was pleased with my service once I was seen. ”
