Dr. T and he had a young lady PA, can't remember her name were great. Listened and talked. Had a small problem with some paper work for the Lab work and they fixed it right away. I guess at that point I was in the system. The nurses that were there also were very good.

This was the first visit [...]. She has been a patient of Dr. [...] for over 50 years and with her mental illness I was concerned about changing doctors, but she did very well. She seemed to like Dr. T. The original appointment was just to meet the doctor and get settled with him as a primary care. Since the appointment was made she has total hearing loss, so the main theme of the appointment was to get that taken care of.
