Reciptionist needs to be more friendly, patients are hurting, and chose your clinic. Smile more, and ask if patients need any help. Doctor is awesome, Dr. Sanchez, and his assistant are professionals.

Very good at what he does. Short on small talk, not so sure that's not a good thing when it comes to medicine.

With me having to deal with so many health issues that overlap, I wish the doctors and nurses I work with would be able to allow he little extra time I need to help calm my concerns when I know one issue will impact another. It makes me feel like they either don't have time or are not interested in the problems the current condition could cause other existing health issues that I work with. I never want my health issues to be someone else's problems but this is the life I have been dealt and at times I need to advocate for myself when the medical staff is so busy.
