The parking lot is too far away for handicapped people and elderly people that can't hardly walk. The building's beautiful, but it's too far away from the parking lot.

When I went to ER with a broken wrist, I was not seen by an MD; wrist was set by a PA, and it did not heal properly. I believe a hand specialist should have been called in when the X-rays showed a complicated wrist injury. After six weeks of being seen by PAs and NPs, who said, "I don't see any healing," I insisted on seeing a hand specialist. By that time it had healed incorrectly.

Oh, everything was fine. I just needed to know how to follow up with my appointment with the orthopedics for my little gel cap. And I had called and wasn't able to, well, I looked in my medical chart and I wasn't able to see how that was going to come to fruition. I just needed an appointment for that. But everything was fine. I was treated with respect to the utmost. Thank you very much.

The gentleman who fitted the splint repeatedly pinched my broken finger to fit the splint and I really didn't think that that was probably necessary and it certainly wasn't helpful in any way. Thank you.

I had an injection in my thumb for arthritis. The X-Ray shows bone on bone due to arthritis. I had my left thumb down many years ago and was told by the surgeon then that the only treatment for bone on bone is surgery. I was not offered this as an option. I was told to return in 3 months for another injection. My thumb hurts worse after the injection than before. I will cancel my next appointment and see another surgeon.

I was given information that I was giving them the right to bill Medicare. And I was given no paperwork at all. And when I checked out, they showed me that I had signed something for $280 for a wrap risk thing. And I didn't see that beforehand. That's outrageous amount. And I should have been made aware of anything that I signed first. Thank you.
