I encountered friendly, caring, professional staff from start to finish. As a new patient, I found the registration was prompt and easy. I’m very pleased to have Dr. Heersink as my new PCP. I appreciated his patience and thoroughness in addressing my concerns and making referrals. And very important to me, he is very friendly and easy to talk to. At check out Kimberly was so helpful in scheduling new appointments.

Went there for preop medical clearance. My name was misspelled in my electronic record. I asked the check in clerk to correct it. She spent 29 minutes and still got it wrong. I was easily fixed by the v who checked me in for lab. Everything else was fine including a very attentive excellent physician.

This was my first time meeting with Dr. Plost - he was very nice...we established care and he allowed me time to ask him questions that I needed to, the appointment felt a little rushed, but hopefully next time its more smooth and not as fast-paced.

I think it was ridiculous that even though I had orders for a flu shot, I had to go outside in the heat at the mass flu shot event.
