Everything was great. However as a MA and someone who works the front desk. While checking in for the appointment I do not think it's right that the lady with leader on her badge was standing over the employee while checking in patients. I find it rude the lady checking my daughter in was wonderful.

He was very kind and I really appreciate his knowledge in his area of work.

Very quick, attentive - we saw three or four different people (an RA, the Dr., a technician to do an x-ray, another to wrap a cast) and all were very good to work with.
