This was a really good appointment. I'm new to this area and it was hard finding someone who pay attention to my specific and unique aspects of me. That make me feel like a cookie cutter approach to deal with health options. And the follow through was great too. So I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with a good doctor. Thank you.

Wellstar is becoming too overrun with technical "improvements ",and non medical staff, apparently in an attempt to stay ahead of the rest of the so called improvements in our modern way of life. I suggest slow down. Medicine is getting ahead of itself. We need more hands on, fewer useless notes and other distractions. Speaking as a retired family physician.

The fee is really expensive, especially for a phone visit. The app was difficult to use and hard to tell if there was anyone there for a while. The instructions had me waiting on hold for 15 min before the apt even started (not all necessary for a phone call, instructions should have actual time), and then the dr was 20 min late due to scheduling. The visit itself was fine, but the app & scheduling need work.
