Once I got the appointment and saw the doctor, it was a good experience. I had to call three times and leave a message to get someone to call me back. It took about ten days for them to call back. I had given up and was ready to seek other medical help, but I had been given such a good recommendation that I made the appointment and was given the appointment three days from when I finally got a call.

Very thankful to be working with Dr. Kilambi and Nurse [NAME]. The entire office experience was top notch. My husband was worked in. This was the first positive medical experience since my husband's fall and ankle fractures. We have a game plan and medical support. Nurse [NAME] is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Kilambi spent quality time with us, answered all questions, was efficient, and supportive. Feeling confident that my husband will be well taken care of.
