AGain, scheduled with the wrong provider. Once she was approached by a CM, she made tremendous efforts to schedule me with the correct team.

I met with the PA as well as a surgeon. They were both very receptive, helpful, reassuring, etc. Again, all the medical staff was wonderful, but the fact that I was treated like another meaningless box to check by the schedulers needs to change ASAP. I have heard the same story from too many other patients of this clinic!

I was there to have my broken toe examined. (My copy of the appointment had no notes on it.) Sandy also took the opportunity to look at my fractured ankle and give me a brace, ace bandage and PT instructions for my in-home therapist. She also noticed I was wearing a wrist brace, and that I had no record of a wrist injury. She took a look at that too! The pain and bruising was from the artery line that was run for my back surgery. Sandy gave me some helpful Instructions to treat my wrist as well. She was very attentive, kind, and totally took care of me!
