    The phone system really needs to be improved. A patient ought to be able to get in touch with their doctor within the same phone call, not wait. And I waited on the phone for 32 minutes before I hung up. The phone system is not good at all. It should go back to like it was before. Thank you. Bye.

    The provider was good. But my appointment was for 11 o'clock and I was not seen until 12:30. I think that's too much there was actually a funeral. I wanted to attend at 11 and I couldn't do it because I felt my hand was more important. And ironically had I known it would've been 12:30 I could've attended the funeral.

    The doctor didn't ask any further questions about my concerns of me having carpal tunnel, didn't ask why I thought about, why I think I have this, what I was feeling, what happened. And then after the x-rays, the doctor didn't even let me know anything about the x-rays, didn't say, yes, you do have carpal tunnel, no, you don't have carpal tunnel, what's happening. All she said was she needs a nerve reduction test, an EMG. And then she just gave me a little simple test that was like testing my numbness. But she didn't ask, didn't like let me further explain how I wasn't really feeling anything, like how everything just felt the same. Like she didn't like ask further questions to really know and get to the problem of what had happened and what was happening to me. So either I was like a new doctor or.

    I want to let you know that my doctor is absolutely amazing. In fact, I have given out her number to two gym members that I go to at the gym. They're regarding the same issues that I currently am battling right now. So I'm hoping they're going to go over there and see her. Second thing is I think the phone system that you guys is absolutely horrible. In fact, I was so frustrated trying to get through to your office originally that I was almost going to see another doctor. If it wasn't for that doctor's care and her bedside manners, I would have not returned because it's frustrating to not be able to get in touch with your medical healthcare providers. So you guys need to, from that, you got great positions. The office workers are amazing. but you absolutely need to correct the term system and have someone.

    They took [PHI] Cast off & then put her in a splint which did not give her any support. This 84 year old lady was crying like a baby for hour and a half in pain. [PHI] has wrist bone misalignment & instead of putting the cast back on they put an ineffective splint. My mother suffered in pain for 2days. We had to take her back to ER from her Rehab center to get another cast. We left messages at this Orthopedic MD's office with no response. Not happy at all with the service provided. Very incompetent. I am sorry!!
