After taking our son out of school to make this appointment and taking the afternoon off work to get him there, my son and his dad left after waiting an hour and nobody seeming to care at all. The only appointment we could get for a new patient was on an afternoon at 2pm- so we had to take him out of school and thought this Dr. was worth it based on recommendations. I am sure Dr. Bresch is a good Doctor, so he should know that his staff did not handle a new patient well at all. Nobody said they were sorry for the wait or that the Dr was running late. We were on time for the appointment and then left after a 1 hour wait. Not only was this a waste of time and missing school, but now we are delayed 2 more weeks to get in to another Doctor.
