"We only had about a 10 min wait in the lobby which I was surprised with the lobby being full. The nurse who met us in the room, she could’ve been a lil more polite when it came to the paper I gave her with my meds, but I just ignored her. The PA who came in & spoke with us, took his time to talk to us, answered all of our questions, explained everything. When he took us the lady at the desk by the room we were in, he told her to set us up for 3 weeks out. She took us to another waiting room & left us there. The lady who I saw was an older lady, very nice, very good at explaining everything & she wasn’t too pleased the lady who dropped me off if the lobby didn’t set my procedure date up. I said, yea I thought that’s what she was going to do… I said, I could’ve found my own way to that lobby. The lady in the pharmacy was very nice & was very good at trying to keep everyone’s private business private, even though it’s a wide open space. If I were to rate the nurses, the score would’ve been a 3, but the PA, waiting time & lady who set my date & explained how to take the medication was extremely good."
