The
family
nurse
practitioner
and
aid/nurse
I
saw
were
great.
The
office
has
a
comfortable
atmosphere.
I
am
not
impressed
with
the
phone
answering
service.
When
calling,
if
you
choose
the
option
to
schedule
an
appointment,
you
will
be
put
into
a
queue
to
speak
to
someone.
If
you
choose
any
other
option,
you
will
be
put
to
a
voicemail
that
says
your
call
will
be
returned
within
24
hours.
If
you
leave
a
voicemail,
it
is
highly
likely
you
will
not
receive
a
call
back,
and
you
definitely
will
not
receive
one
in
24
hours.
I
have
left
messages
a
couple
times
and
never
received
a
call
back
after
several
days.
I
got
ahold
of
someone
over
the
phone
by
choosing
the
option
3
for
scheduling.
I
learned
from
the
representative
on
the
phone
that
in
order
to
get
better
response
I
need
to
use
the
patient
portal
and
send
messages.
I
have
never
used
the
patient
portal
before
and
didn't
know
beforehand
that
I
should
be
communicating
on
there,
otherwise
I
would
have
and
had
my
issue
resolved
sooner.
Before
discovering
the
issue
with
the
phone
service
(when
I
went
in
for
my
appointment)
the
paperwork
I
filled
out
at
the
office
asked
if
I
have
ever
used
the
patient
portal
before,
I
checked
off
NO,
yet
no
one
asked
me
about
it
or
mentioned
anything
about
using
or
how
to
get
into
the
patient
portal
while
I
was
there.
I
spoke
to
the
office
manager
regarding
the
phone
service,
they
stated
that
the
office
is
understaffed
and
unable
to
answer
to
the
call
volume
and
that
their
answering
machine
is
backed
up
and
they
are
unable
to
get
to
the
messages
left
by
patients.
My
recommendations
for
this
office:
1.
When
patients
come
into
the
office
for
walkins/appointments,
please
communicate
with
them
that
the
best
way
to
contact
staff
for
everything
else
other
than
scheduling
an
appointment
is
to
use
the
patient
portal
and
if
they
have
not
used
it
before,
help
them
set
up.
2.
The
answering
machine
should
not
tell
people
that
they
will
receive
a
call
back
within
24
hours
when
it
is
known
know
they
will
not.
3.
Consider
the
issues
that
will
arise
with
any
patients
that
are
not
technologically
savvy.
This
situation
resulted
in
delay
of
my
care.
Luckily
my
situation
is
not
severe,
but
someone
else's
could
be,
and
they
could
potentially
be
hurt
by
the
delay
in
care
or
at
the
very
least
have
a
poor
experience
on
top
if
what
ever
else
they
are
experiencing
in
their
lives.
