The cancer team approach has really made this challenge a very liveable experience. Good news so far and team has connected with patient. Thank you.

04-08-2026

The care was top notch!! Very thorough and everybody was in sync with each other. I couldn't have asked for anything to be better.

04-01-2026

Everything is excellent.

03-23-2026

I can think of nothing more! My experience was an excellent one.

my surgeon acted as though he really did not want to be bothered with questions and when I did ask a question about a concern I had, he acted frustrated with me. I've lived a long time and been in the medical field myself for several years and have never encountered a doctor like him. Because of his demeanor I have no idea what kind of clinician he was or the job he did because he was a terrible communicator. I'm sorry that I'm having to give a review like this. I know that we are all on different journeys, including the doctors that treat us, but there are simply some jobs where a doctor needs to control his attitude. If he had taken five minutes to check the past three months of my medical history perhaps he would've treated me a bit differently.

Had someone call to setup appointments with other Doctors and she was not very professional and didn't listen to my questions. I hung up sick of trying to talk with people that will not listen.

03-16-2026

My visit could not have been better. Any questions I had were answered.

03-16-2026

Everything was fine!

03-11-2026

Nothing doing great

02-23-2026

I had to wait over an hour past my appointment time. I understand days can get crazy and doctors get behind but it would be nice to get a call that the doctor is running behind and have me come in later than waiting there for over an hour.

02-19-2026

Everyone we dealt with was great.

02-19-2026

Everything was perfect. I was very pleased with my care

02-18-2026

It was ridiculously hot in the lobby and in the patient rooms. Staff was hot as well

02-11-2026

The doctor was running late but two nurses made sure we knew we were not forgotten and alert us to the issue. This was very much appreciated.

02-09-2026

Very happy & satisfied with care

02-05-2026

The wait time for the appointment was an hour and a half.

02-04-2026

I had to wait an hour after being put in an exam room. Thankfully I didn't have any other appointments that day. A nurse did come in and told me he was "running behind" and would "be in soon" but no other explanation. After another half hour of waiting another nurse came in and asked if I needed to use the restroom or anything, and that he would "be here soon". The Dr. came in a few minutes later and apologized saying he was detained in a room and couldn't leave. I understand if he delayed due to being in surgery and having complications, etc. I did appreciate his apology, but there should be a better way for the staff to inform the patients that are having to wait an inordinate amount of time. After waiting 30-45 minutes, a patient should, at least be given the option of continuing to wait or rescheduling. Neither options were presented to me.

02-04-2026

Dr Rinkliff is wonderful.

01-22-2026

Every thing was great

01-21-2026

I did mean to say no to the cleanliness of the facility, because the facility always is clean, but to the doctor, Wincliffe, he did not answer my questions. He brushed me out. Okay? So that's about that. Thank you.

Everything was great.

Dr. Rinkliff and staff were wonderful. He was thoughtful about how I was feeling as he was explaining everything about my health journey. I appreciate how thorough he was explaining the medical/surgical process and also that he considered my thoughts about the procedures.

12-04-2025

The waiting area and exam rooms were extremely cold. It would be better if they were warmer. Other than that, it was a great experience.

10-29-2025

10-09-2025

all good no improvement needed

10-08-2025

My appointment was at 11:05 and I was asked to be there at 10:50. I arrived just before 10:50 and the receptionist pleasantly checked me in. After an hour in the waiting room, as other patients came into the waiting room and were called into rooms, I remained waiting. I asked the receptionist for an update and she said right after I checked in, she learned that Dr. Rinkliff was running 40-45 minutes behind schedule. I was sitting in eyesight and short distance from her. She could have updated me when she learned of the backup, so I could adjust my expectations. I ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours for an appointment, and spent a total of 5 minutes with the doctor. This was extremely frustrating. Also, a lady in the waiting room was on the phone speaking very loudly, at times, putting the phone on speaker so the entire waiting room could hear both sides of the conversation (all in Spanish). I told the receptionist this was very annoying, and nothing was done. It seems that out of respect for others in the waiting room, they could have asked her to lower the volume of her voice, or even refrain from talking on the phone in the waiting room. This added to my frustration while waiting for an excessive amount of time for my appointment.

10-08-2025

There was nothing that could have been better!

10-06-2025

Everything was just fine

10-06-2025
