I was 5 minutes late to my appt and wasn't able to call. When I showed up a nurse who happened to have just finished with a patient who heard me say I was late went to the back to tell the dr I was there. The people at the desks were discussing things with other patients but when one was free they got me right in. The dr was very thorough and explained in detail what to expect and when. I am very satisfied with the treatment I received.
