      They all were comforting and kind & courteous. Answered all my questions and concerns even before I asked. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is seeking an excellent staff and well trained staff on patient care!

      The person making the appointment told me that earliest possible time for knee injection was June 3. I messaged the doctor to tell her that I could barely walk and asked her if she had any cancellations to call me / text me and I would come. I received a prompt reply--and got the injection the next morning. If I had not messaged, I would still have three weeks of pain to go. I appreciate the doctor.

      I was not able to talk I keep getting interrupted. I also got treated like I didn't know what was happening to my arm and decision were made without asking if I was ok with it

      I had to walk out after the doctor didn't do what I was there for. I was there early, but didn't get to go to a room for 1/2 hour after my appt. Then I had to wait 15 more minutes for the Dr. She came in and started to explain alternative things instead of doing the ultra sound I was there for. When she went to get the equipment after 15 more minutes I got changed and left. Never saw her again,nor would I want too

      I can't think of a way that my visit could have improved. Dr.Nelson listened to my description of my current symptoms and carefully examined the new xrays and my knee and leg and discussed options to treat my pain.

      Everyone was thoughtful & caring during my visit. Might have been the best care I've received from a PRISMA Health facility in years! Can't think of anything that would have improved my visit.
