    I felt I was given a "maybe" diagnosis. She did not know my recent health issues. Diet suggestions were unreasonable. If I tried to follow it, I'd end up with a basket of fresh greens and a gallon of water. The final insult was mistakenly changing my med list and not even mentioning it to me. Luckily I caught it when I reviewed the after visit summary.

    My appointment was cancelled the day before, and I did not receive the notifications about that. They must have been sent to a wrong number. I would recommend they make sure they have contact with the right person. We travelled 3 hours to get there and booked a room for overnight. Luckily they were able to get me in later that day with a nurse/practitioner, who was excellent!

    LOVED Ally! I was relaying how I had come to ENT and still had Pulmonology. I could not get into them until mid July. Apparently she sensed my disappointment with that and called pulmonary. They called me the next day to get me in sooner! Ally is awesome and a true patient advocate.

    The Nurse Practitioner was fantastic! She listened to all of my concerns, was kind, caring, and personable. I was there for an emergency appointment after getting lake water in my ears (I have ear tubes). I also brought up another concern and even though I'm pretty sure the second concern delayed her and put her behind schedule, she made sure to listen and provide support and care. Thank you!!
