The amount of time it takes to be seen is poor. Got in, got X-rays taken but then waited over an hour to be seen. At the 1/2 hour point someone finally came in to acknowledge that we had not been forgotten about then we waited an additional 1/2 hour before the PA came in and then waited more before the doctor came in to basically spend 15 minutes going over things. Dr. And PA were very pleasant but wow 9-12:30 or so for an appointment. This was not a one time occurrence of being behind. This happened that last time we were there too. Glad I made the appointment for a day off of school or my kids would have missed the whole day.

I appreciated the quick visit this time. Last time we waited an hour before we saw the doctor & we were not told that it may be that long. This time we were informed there may be a wait, but did not have to wait that long.
