Make all scans and lab results even from outside sources that have been downloaded in your system available to the patient through My Chart.

It took forever (2 months) to get someone to make an appointment after my edocrinologist made the referral. Could not get response from office staff. Finally got an appintment after I contacted the Prisma Patient advocates.

Prayer is essential and assuring for me. I waited 6 months for an appointment. Having 2 aneurysms on my brain, there seems to be no urgency to this office in getting me an early appointment! I was practically living in fear of ruptured and no knowledge of my situation.

We had to wait two hours for our appointment. They were very, very over scheduled. The doctor was very good and we understood what he needed to tell us, but the wait was ridiculous.

My visit with the nurse, the nurse practitioner, and then Dr. Moftakar was very pleasant. The Dr listened to my concerns and we discussed possible treatment options.

I do wish they had gotten me in sooner so I didn't have to initially seek care elsewhere when I needed a medication scan. The person who does the initial bookings was horribly rude. I wasn't able to see for two months after my emergency. And then the office wait to see him was over two hours, once we arrived. As for the doctor, he was wonderful, bedside manner was perfect, answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to give detail, and was very pleasant, in addition. He also ordered the scans that I requested and didn't minimize or ridicule my request for something different, which I've experienced with other providers. I was very impressed and pleased.

Our only concern throughout my whole surgical experience was communication with the doctor's office. When we tried to contact our doctor's office directly or the hospital directly, we were redirected to a different location off campus and in another city that could only give us generalized information, not specific personalized information. It was very stressful not being able to communicate successfully.

I can think of nothing, except for wait, which I do not think could be helped, experience was great.

Faster return calls to patients who have recently had serious surgery. I know we can't talk to doctor and his immediate assistants however there could be a designated person for patient to call when they feel they have problems. That could talk to doctor about your concerns and call you back.

I was there one hour & 45 minutes. That is rediculous when the doctor wasn't in the visit maybe 5 minutes. Scheduling needs to better job.
