The resident & dr were great, but the wait was way too long. I waited 2 hours before seeing the dr. I've always had a fairly long wait, but my last visit was ridiculous. I know they are very busy, but it always seems a bit unorganized when I visit.

This is the ONLY medical facility I would use for me or my family. The doctors, nurses and staff were very informative and compassionate in a very difficult situation. Love this facility so much we have encouraged our grandchildren to seek employment there.

The Dr. and nurses at this facility are top notch. Very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and treat you like family. The two oncology nurses Amanda and Kelly are great! They make me feel at ease and are very caring. I highly recommend this facility to anyone going through any kind of treatment.

I felt I was totally disrespected. The nurse finished her questions of me and left the appointment room at [TIME] and there was no further contact with anyone until a Fellow came in at [HOUR AND HALF LATER] and I was not seen by my Doctor until [HOUR MORE]for my [TIME] appoitment. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

All services were provided in a professional manner. The Oncology Clinic was running somewhat behind on the appointment time.
