The receptionist was very pleasant and efficient. The Nurse was very polite and thorough. Although the wait time was around 40 minutes in the waiting area, I was seen very quickly once in the exam room by Dr. Toombs- Withers. She was not rushed and took time to listen to my concerns and with my examination. I was very pleased with my visit today.

After I was called to the back I waited over an hour before someone came in and apologized but the doctor had a couple that was being seen so then after that it was about another 10 minutes.

At first I was a little nervous because it was my first visit with Dr. Toombs-Withers but as soon as I arrived I was welcomed by the receptionist with a warm greeting, the nurses were nice as well, and Dr. Toobms- Whiters was very nice, concerned, and caring. I'm glad I made the decision to switch doctors. ??

The wait was not long (I had the first appointment of the morning) and the doctor was straightforward and knew what she was talking about. However, she came off as somewhat disinterested and unconcerned with my problem, although she did give me a prescription and some reccomendations.
