My overall experience was pretty good. I was seen for an outpatient procedure and from check in to discharge my experience was swell. I was then placed into the care of Mrs. Mary Brooke. She's was well knowledgeable of her work. She made me feel so comfortable and eased my nerves before, during, as well as after, my procedure. Dr. Ellison was a gem. He was in and out... Made the process very smooth. Overall visit went pretty good.
Zero stars. Your appointment time is an illusion meant to help you cope with the first hour of waiting. Give in to despair before you get there. It’s much less painful that way. Life is better when you manage expectation. Plan to be there for 3 hours.
0 stars if I could. The lady at the desk when you first walk in is rude and just cuts you off, speaks over you. When i called at 10:40 she cold transfered me to the back, the guy said to just come in, and i get there at 11:40 and everyone in the back in gone to lunch, No one said over the phone they had lunch for over an hour, and or even let me know, so now I'm stuck WAITING with a 3 year old.
