The receptionist was the nicest person I have ever met in a physician's office. I wish I had gotten her name. I use a walker and she made sure she was there to open doors for me and seemed happy to be of help. The office is lucky to have her.

The provider was excellent, except that I was stuck waiting in the exam room waiting for her for over 30 minutes. The nursing staff did not communicate to me that she was running late.However, when the provider came, she apologized for being so late.
