Patient Comments (8)
I am sorry for the feelings expressed by Sterling. To you sir, I am happy to sit with you any time. I am happy to engage every client individually and spend as much time as is necessary to discuss their concerns. My staff and I strive to provide transparent, honest, and fair care for every client. I will never discharge any patient from my care and will gladly see them for as long as they wish. I whole-heartedly appreciate the trust and faith clients place in our hands in when choosing us.
Thank you Mildred for your kind words. I am happy you had a wonderful experience with us. Regards, Dr. N
I am sorry this nice person experienced such difficulties during their visit. I am very sorry for the time spent waiting to be seen. We have made adjustments to address this problem. I am very aware of the quality and demands on a client's time. I am sorry the cyst came back despite our initial effort for aspiration in the hopes of avoiding a surgical procedure. I was unaware of the billing concerns. My staff will be happy to investigate & rectify. Please do contact our office.
It is with sadness that I read this review. I never wish for any patient to feel shorted by their visit. We do our best to accommodate every patient's need. I do not recall ever spending only 5 mins with any patient in my 11 years in practice; but I am sorry this was the experience they perceived. We do run late at times as we are trying to give our patients the time they need. What may be viewed as short tempered is often honesty; still, I apologize to this patient for their experience.
