The provider was great, residents were great and med student was great. Jim, the clinic manager was great. Clinic protocol is awful and reception/check in is fairly poor.

She wasn't my surgeon and was unaware of my case. She thought I had a appendectomy without complications and was unaware that I was there to have a drain removed.

I spent the majority of the visit with a medical student rather than the doctor, but this review is for the doctor. I wish I had spent more time with the doctor instead.

The attending was excellent. the resident had a poor bedside manner and did not complete the procedure satisfactorily. Unfortunately the attending left the room while he closed the incision. He should have been able to to do this as he was a third year resident, but the incision continues to leak blood 4 days after the procedure.
