I am writing this review as I am going through the steps from start to finish here. I am a brand new patient and my mom has referred me.
Good location. Located about 2-3 mins off the 95 freeway at Decatur. Same parking lot as toys r us. Very easy to find.
Place is nice and clean. Well kept. Looks like he may have just done some remodeling. Jennifer is the lady up front that greeted me and is very nice. She seems to know her job. She is fast an efficient as well as a great multi tasker. Seems like a great start!
I've been waiting about an hour now but I expected to wait a little while since I am a walk in patient with no appointment. There was only 1 person when I walked in so I am wondering what is taking so long but all the rooms in the back could be full. And I am just grateful that Doctor T allowed me to come in as a walk in on a very busy Friday afternoon! So I should not and will not complain too much about time.
Bathroom is very clean and fresh. I can't tell you how many doctor offices I have walked into and their bathrooms were disgusting! Not here. Seems like they got a good cleaning crew here.
Just got called back into the room. Now waiting on dr. Julie is the sweet lady who took me back and took vitals. Very kind. She point blank told me time was not a factor. Do not feel rushed just because I'm a walk in. That is awesome! Most ignorant docs now a days give u 5 mins of their time and they are done! I get a dr in a room and they seem so rushed that I start feeling super rushed. Then I start talking so fast to get everything out that I want to say and always end up forgetting what I came in for in the first place. I'm so sick of places like that! I am a very brittle diabetic and I need a dr who
~#1 takes walk in (who the hell schedules an appointment for strep throat or a cold or flu? Yes may I please set an appt for next Tuesday because I think I will have strep throat and the sniffles that day! Um no!) don't take walk ins or same day then I'm not your patient.
~#2 who can speak to me for more than 5 mins. Don't rush me out of your office and make me so rushed that I start stuttering and forget what I came in for.
~#3actually listens! This is a huge one for me. All these dr think they know you. No, I know my body better than anyone on this planet. So when I say what is going on with me and I tell you I will not take certain medications then listen or I won't be coming back. I hate dr who just come in the room for 3 mins and walk out with 10 scripts they want u on. No way! I will NOT take any new medication unless I research it and make sure it does not have a drug interaction with any of my other meds.
~#4 educate me without belittle me or talking down to me. Telling me what I'm saying is not correct. Yes sir it is absolutely correct. I think before I speak and make sure I know what I'm talking about before I speak about it. And this is my health not yours. So don't get pissy with me when I want to research medications before you shove them down my throat!
Yikes! Only negative thing is the walls are paper thin! I can hear anything and everything from the next room. I bet if they turn off the music I'll probably be able to hear them breath lol. Nothing toward the dr or staff of course. Not their fault at all.
Dr just left the room. I am so blown away at his professionalism. He is very kind and gentle. Very knowledgable and knows what he's talking about. He is not pushy at all. Listened to every single thing I had to say and did not rush me what so ever. He adjusted some meds my old primary had going and gosh did I need it! He asked my opinion about every single topic we discussed. This is exactly what I needed. A legit straight forward, patient, caring and knowledgable Doctor I can trust with my life!
He ordered blood work and it's done in office so I don't have to go elsewhere. Huge convenience since Las Vegas is so damn hot right now! Another lady up front named Maria had my referrals faxed and finished by the time I could blink! I am very big on knowing first names of people. If you can see what color my piss is then we need to be on a first name basis! And no one here has any problem with that!
Came into take my blood and lornise is the vampires name. She is a very sweet vampire though! Knows her job and very knowledgable! Quick and painless. As painless as a needle digging into my arm can be! I am a very hard stick. I've been poked up to 13 times when I was in the hospital and no one ever got a vein. I had to have a pick line put in. But ms. Vampire got it on the first stick! God I love this women!
Overall I am extremely satisfied and even more grateful. This is my new doctor no doubt about it. I hope he likes me cause he's stuck with me lol. I wish I could give more stars because everyone here deserves it. And no I am not a family member or a friend of anyone at this office. I am just a very grateful patient. Thank you doc for all you do. You should be very proud!
