      The office staff was professional and courteous. I thought the discharge clerk a bit curt, maybe she was having a difficult day. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience, given the nature of the appointment. Some of the survey questions were not applicable since I only saw the provider once and do not have a relationship with him.

      Dr Kwiatt and his entire office team are one of the top two best healthcare experiences I've had in my whole life. They stand out for both skill and a genuine humanness. I highly recommend them. Dr Kwiatt himself is a patience calm kind listener and great at working with you to strategize your care in ways that work for you. The MAs and scheduler are also the most real, human, kind practitioners I've seen. Other providers could shadow to learn great practices from this group.
