Handling discharge procedures with more understanding and personality. Too rushed and unpredictable. Wait time causing more discomfort.

I marked the facility is not clean because that was the only option but the chairs in the waiting room are disgusting. If you look across from the reception desk, the chairs that are in the hallway. All the leather is peeling off if the Department of Health went in there that would definitely be a violation. They should be thrown away or redone.

I was extremely impressed with my visit. Everyone was very friendly and gave me all the attention needed. Dr. Peelle did my lower back surgery three years ago and I am confident that he will do a great job now.

Go back to checkin process in each office. It is ridiculous to do it at the entrance. So much for privacy plus the computers never seem to show appointments so you are giving way more information than has ever been necessary before in front of a bunch of strangers. Yes that's safe.

Get a real doctor that knows medical issues and that can real answers. If he doesn't know he can give you information to where you can find a doctor that knows your issues.That can help you with your situation.
