| - It seems that the experiences of others here are very bad, and perhaps justifiably so, but my wife, daughter and I go to that clinic, seldom wait all that long as we phone ahead for an appt. time.
Dr. K is a delight to work with, for she tends to be caring and thorough, listens well, and is right on the task when we are clear about our needs. Super happy with this fine woman!
As well, the front desk has been a pleasure to deal with, but seem to appreciate respect and a smile or two along the way.
And this brings me to another important point. As former registered professional people-helper myself, doing one's best to be super available to help others in meaningful ways takes considerable energy and care for those who show up in our offices. Mount Royal, Mission and other inner city drop-in clinics tend to have a weighty number of street needy and self-abusing people show up without appts. nor the manners to over-ride their often terrible physical and emotional conditions. This is a constant rub on front line staff and some physicians. We all are human and can get somewhat rundown when many of one's clients are on the verge of destroying themselves. Let's consider this when we go to inner-city med clinics? And offer a smile of appreciation for their efforts during those days when human misery pours in their doors...?
