My discussions with Dr. Rinkliff we're probably the clearest, most succinct and most beneficial of any that I've had with a medical provider.

Dr Rinkliff is great. He listens and helps make decisions based on the individual patient. Our healthcare system needs more drs like him. I have confidence in him and his staff.

I love this place and everyone is amazing and professional, but I waited in the doctor's office for forty minutes after the nurse saw me. No one checked in or let me me know how long it would be. That got lonely and frustrating.

Dr Rinkliff provided information, education and options for lumpectomy, mastectomy and reconstruction for TNBC. He referred me to a plastic surgeon to allow a fully informed decision for cancer and reconstruction

We were frustrated that it took so long for me to get an appointment, and then when we finally were able to come into the appointment, which was about two months after we made the appointment, I was told that this surgeon could not help me and he was going to refer me somewhere else where I have to wait another three, four weeks before I can be seen by a specialist. So that was a really frustrating period. And also, there was no wait list for seeing Dr. Rinkliff or to try to see him sooner. We were just told that that would be the date I would have to see him, and that was it. So that was frustrating. So overall, kind of a frustrating situation. Nice guy, but frustrating situation. Thanks.

Surgery went great! No complications. Dr Rinkliff and his staff are amazing! From the moment I walked into the front door until the time I left everyone I came in contact with was kind, courteous and professional! I have never been to a Dr's office where you sit in the waiting room for only a few minutes before you are in an exam room and the Dr comes in promptly with a smile on his face. This office is run very efficiently and it shows! They all deserve a big raise!

Having breast cancer is difficult enough I feel privileged to be assigned with great doctors and staff. They have made this scary experience a little less scary with the compassion and care provided.

In the radiation department, there was a gentleman there that was a nurse that helped me, and he really made me feel like he respected me and helped me with anything I needed. And I really enjoyed the time I had there talking to him and listening to what he had to say. Thank you.

Nurses and doctor were wonderful. The only thing I would say is trying to schedule an appointment was pretty difficult to get a hold of somebody and then the way the system is, you know, one person can't schedule various appointments. Like for example, I needed an MRI scheduled when I was having a mammogram, but somebody else had to do it or my pre-op appointment, somebody else had to do it and couldn't do a post-op appointment or surgery appointment. It would be nice if at some point the system could accommodate all appointments, but also let you speak to someone when you're scheduling appointments. There were several times appointments were scheduled for me that didn't work and it was hard to get in a hold of someone to talk to to change it.

Can we just call for appointments instead of text. I t would be so much easier and when it comes to a person's health , I would like to speak with a person in the Drs office.. and not a computer.

Caring office staff, and Dr Rinkliff was top notch. Dr Rinkliff gave me understandable feedback and options. He also personally contacted the Radiology department and obtained the results of my MRI that weren't posted yet, and got them in time to review with me, during my office visit. I was very impressed with Dr Rinkliff and his office staff. Would definitely recommend Dr Rinkliff to friends and family, and contact him for any general surgery needs in the future!
