I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment. They were running really behind and I was disappointed because it threw off the rest of my day. Their office was way too cold, I was absolutely freezing. I usually don't have a problem with the cold, but I wanted to get out of that office as soon as possible. The staff was rude a presumptive. I never actally saw the doctor, even though I made an appointment 2 months in advance to see him.
