I am being sent to another specialist and the called me to schedule that appointment before I got a chance. I really appreciate that and the fact that the appointment is only a week away. Thank you.

The check in & out was not very efficient. There were 2 of us standing there waiting to check-in as the sign indicated and realized we had to go to a different desk because staff was at lunch. Better signage would be helpful. I'm also still waiting for a call from scheduler for my surgery. I've already followed up with a call and still nothing.
