    I believe the whole thing worked as well as can be expected. It would be great if they would put a note in the front of the building that people are not to park at the very entrance unless they're actively loading or unloading patients. We love our Doctor Christopher Goodman!

    I always feel respected by Dr. Goodman and staff. I am disappointed that the doors are still hard to manage since the primary patient is geriatric and I have significant RA in my hands and shoulders.

    The medical professionals may have washed their hands before serving me, but unless they do it in my presence, I have no idea if they had washed their hands or not. Just a suggestion that it would build confidence if they wash their hands in the presence of the patient, but this is not a major concern for me. I am very pleased with my care at the Prisma office of internal medicine.

    I am treated with respect and Dr. Goodman is always prepared for my visit, he and the staff. I have mentioned before in surveys the difficulty I have with the doors upon entering and exiting. I have severe arthritis and it requires a great deal of strength to use these doors. I will appreciate something being done about this situation and I will also appreciate a response to my request.

    Shorter wait time? I didn't wait that long and was there early but also arrived during lunch time so I guess that is expected. No other issues. I have great respect and trust in Dr.Goodman as my PCP. THANK YOU.

    Many of your online (MyChart) questionaires are annoying and unnecessary. One should not be encouraged or required to complete them. Just focus on providing reliable and good healthcare service.
