    It took forever (2 months) to get someone to make an appointment after my edocrinologist made the referral. Could not get response from office staff. Finally got an appintment after I contacted the Prisma Patient advocates.

    Prayer is essential and assuring for me. I waited 6 months for an appointment. Having 2 aneurysms on my brain, there seems to be no urgency to this office in getting me an early appointment! I was practically living in fear of ruptured and no knowledge of my situation.

    We had to wait two hours for our appointment. They were very, very over scheduled. The doctor was very good and we understood what he needed to tell us, but the wait was ridiculous.

    I do wish they had gotten me in sooner so I didn't have to initially seek care elsewhere when I needed a medication scan. The person who does the initial bookings was horribly rude. I wasn't able to see for two months after my emergency. And then the office wait to see him was over two hours, once we arrived. As for the doctor, he was wonderful, bedside manner was perfect, answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to give detail, and was very pleasant, in addition. He also ordered the scans that I requested and didn't minimize or ridicule my request for something different, which I've experienced with other providers. I was very impressed and pleased.

    Our only concern throughout my whole surgical experience was communication with the doctor's office. When we tried to contact our doctor's office directly or the hospital directly, we were redirected to a different location off campus and in another city that could only give us generalized information, not specific personalized information. It was very stressful not being able to communicate successfully.

    Faster return calls to patients who have recently had serious surgery. I know we can't talk to doctor and his immediate assistants however there could be a designated person for patient to call when they feel they have problems. That could talk to doctor about your concerns and call you back.
