    I had a great experience. The doctor, I mean, my nurse practitioner was running late, but that was definitely explained to me. I didn't have any appointments afterwards, so it wasn't a problem. So again, I give her very high ratings because I think she listened very well, helped explain things when I had questions, and has overall been a really great provider the time I've been seeing her. So I really appreciate her and the rest of the team, too. My medical assistant was really nice, had a great conversation, and kept me calm. So I had a great experience all around for the entire team.

    Not so much to the provider as to the process and procedures. I don't think that it is wise or beneficial to send someone to the emergency room if the diagnosis is that the patient is not getting air. The dr office should have the ability to give a breathing treatment or steroid by intervene since I was told that was what was required. So I came from my house to the dr office to be sent to the emergency room. I understand the dr office not being able to do surgical procedures or triage even but a breathing treatment and an IV of steroids . n what is the logic in that. I couldn't even make it to the ER that's me passing by the road to my house. I pulled over a few times made it home and spent the rest of the afternoon using the breathing treatment a few times. No issue with the doctor at all she was very kind, caring and informative. The process is horrible not the doc
