Overall Prisma has been wonderful during this experience.
The doctor was extremely helpful, courteous. He obviously had reviewed her medical records before coming in. He was just a nice guy overall. I completely trusted his opinion and would definitely recommend him again.
Dr. Hydorn entertained every question my teenage son had about his injury and treated him with respect.
Too long wait
As always, Staff and Doctor were pleasant and knowledgeable.
Great
I'm thankful!
We did not stay for the appointment. I fully understand the limitations that prevented the physician from accessing prior imaging studies, but the registration team specifically instructed us that the imaging was accessible and told us NOT to bring discs. We drove from out of town, I rearranged my schedule of patients. As a single parent & physician, this is quite a challenge. No, I didn't want to reschedule, and no, I didn't want my child exposed to unnecessary radiation or to pay for repeat imaging of a normal scan. I left, didn't reschedule, and went to a private orthopedist who can see us within a week and got my discs. Honestly, 90% of my encounters with Prisma are miserable. I will try to avoid referrals to this system from here on out.
Front desk member at check in was unfriendly. This was our first visit there and the front desk member is the first person we see and she was unfriendly and had an attitude when checking us in. Seemed as if she was annoyed with being at work. Gave us a bad first impression. However after getting pulled back to the room our experience was great.
Dr. Hydorn was very patient and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions, even the silly ones and made sure I had all the information needed to make a sound decision concerning my infant son's care. As a new, first time mom, I really appreciate that.
