I cannot think of anything I would have needed toproved my trust and respect, everyone seem to go out of their way to help my daughter with the Wheelchair get inside the door. We were very surprised as I was a knew patient the care and respect I received. Very happy with the doctor.

You should not have to weigh in front of others in a hallway. The staff could have been friendlier. They did not seem to like their jobs.

I wish the dr would of done what he was supposed to do the day of my appt and that was to call in a prescription for my pain. I was in horrible pain through the night and the next morning until I called then a nurse called and everything was taking care of in a fair amount of time. This was my first visit to Prisma and I was really upset.

I don't think the doctor was really interested in my symptoms for my care because he took a long time opposed to after visit and I don't think that he was really interested. I think he was like more like he was telling me something different about my health. I was concerned about that but it was just that you know I don't think he was focusing on what I was there for. He didn't give me time to really talk and he told me that he didn't think I had a spinal cord injury so that's basically all I have to say.

Improve Visit Summary by being very clear on next steps and who would be doing what, e.g. We'll try shots....who will arrange that, is a delay possible with insurance, who will make the appointment, etc.

The X-ray techs were amazing but the medical assistant didn't seem helpful. Being a new patient not knowing how they do things caused me anxiety, and she should have made me feel more comfortable instead of trying to get me in and out so quickly. Next time it will be better for me because I have a better understanding of the process. The doctor was great! He knew I was anxious but didn't make me feel bad about it, he listened and cared.

I had difficulty making an appointment prior to this one at the pain clinic, and when I mentioned this, the nurse and physician both expressed concern and apologized on behalf of Prisma and the physician directed the nurse to specifically follow through on this. I really appreciated this (great recovery). I really admired Dr Farrell's approach to my medical situation and his care to answer all my questions and those of my husband. We are both recently retired nurses and his explanations took that into consideration. I would gladly recommend him and Prisma.
