| - This review is for the office staff and my doctor, Dr. Tyre.
This was my first visit to this doctor's office as I recently changed my provider. I didn't think my last one was taking my concerns seriously, so I switched based on the recommendation of a co-worker/friend.
I arrived at the office and didn't have the suite number with me, so it took me a few minutes to find the office (there really should be a directory with so many offices... or I should really learn to bring the suite number, not just the street number). Once I was in the office, the front staff was friendly, however, seemed a bit - irritated/uptight - about the fact I wasn't there at least 30 minutes early to be sure to finish the intake paperwork before the appointment. It wasn't a big deal, but the delivery of her statement could have been a little less cold, to be honest. I understand, and was told, it was because "the doctor DOES run on time".
I finished the paperwork before my appointment time, I waited a few minutes and was called back for my vitals and such. The person who took my information, Aricelli (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was very nice and informative, letting me know what she was doing and why.
I was then taken back to the room where I saw the doctor. She listened to my needs, concerns, etc and provided me with a lot more referrals and additional check-ups than my last provider.
The only thing I would say is that her reaction to my blood pressure worried me for the rest of the day - and it turns out it wasn't an issue. So, a bit on the "over-reaction" but I would rather have that than have something go unaddressed.
So far, my first experience with her was positive. I will have a follow up after a couple other tests and see how it goes.
Oh, and I was told her office would send a referral and be calling me to follow up so I can schedule an exam, but I have yet to hear from her office. It's only been since Thursday (today is Monday), but I didn't think it would take this long - that might be an issue if someone just isn't getting it done timely.
