    "My experience with the actual provider was good, but quite brief. She was very friendly and asked if I had any concerns, but she seemed like she was in a rush. The nurse that roomed me told me I was there for "a physical," which I was not. When I said that I was there for a pap, not a physical, the way she responded seemed patronizing. She made very little eye contact and was not personable."

The nurse calmed me down or I would have left without seeing the doctor. The doctor was great and I explained what happened. She said she would talk to the receptionist and apologized for her behavior"

    "I like the text reminder for upcoming appointments but I do not appreciate having to click a link to complete registration. This could easily be fraud & I do not find it necessary to complete questions at inconvenient times prior to visits. A simple "Y" or "N" (yes or no) reply to the text to confirm appointments should be sufficient."

Dr. Kramer even stopped by to say hello & wish me well, which is appreciated. You have amazing doctors who care so much, which is why we drive over an hour to receive care. Great visit as always!"
