All went very well.

All went well just not as I had understood. Everything after my ct scan could have been taken care of on the phone or through my chart.

The only area of improvement would be to shorten the time between the moment the nurse leaves the exam room and when the physician comes in the exam room. There was a 35 minute delay for us. I truly enjoyed meeting Dr. Bhatia, but didn't understand the time lapse. When I entered the waiting room, there was no one there.

Directions to the offices once you enter the building. There are no signs or a directory, or even a desk with a person to ask for directions. We were in the elevator with someone like us just guessing where to go

Finding your way around the building is very difficult. You need to put more signage, especially in the parking garage. We had a lot of trouble finding our way.

Everyone I dealt with was professional, helpful and supportive. Keep up the good work!
