NP Pat is great. I was having some abdominal pain and flank pain for about 2 weeks and came in to see him. I told him my doctor in CA ordered a blood test and after a very thorough assessment of me, he told me what he though could be wrong and ordered a C reactive protein test, amylase and lipase test. I've been to so many doctors and specialists in the last year trying to find out the cause of my frequent abdominal pain and no one had ordered those tests! C reactive protein is used to test for inflammation in the body. Not sure if he will be able to find out what's wrong with me but I hope he does!
Pat listened to me, he was thorough, professional and clarified a lot of things. He was running about 15-20 minutes late but depending on the severity of a patient's visit, it could put the physician behind.
I found out that they have a lab person drawing blood on site which is cool. After blood is drawn, it's sent out to wherever it needs to go... Labcorp, quest, etc (I think). No need for me to wait forever at labcorp anymore.
Front desk staff were polite and the MA was super nice!
