She took the time to hear what I am going though in life. Was patient about being sent to the wrong specialist. And open to help me out with her expertise and position of her specialties. She treated me like a normal person and didn’t look at me different.

The actual doctor was very kind, it was the rest of the staff that made my experience bad.

On time & reviewed previous & future plan-of care with me
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/3/2025
Talks to fast, circles back on topics, difficult to follow. Good thing I am a retired nurse, and not a common elderly lay person. Keep in mind clients coming in for treatment are ill and this adds to difficulty of comprehension

The doctor talked a lot and I felt like I couldn’t really get a word in and when I did she’d start talking over me. However, I want to say that Waneka in the office was incredible. I got lost and confused on the sidewalk and had a panic attack while on the phone with her. She was so patient and warm and stayed on the phone with me until I got to the waiting room, and then she came out to check on me. I made sure to tell the front desk ladies how much I appreciated that and I hope she gets the message so she knows how much she helped me.
