*Dr. Arora put together a plan and makes sure I agree and understand. They write it out and send me home with it. Great!

My preference was to see *Dr. Rettiq - no appts. available in near term. Saw *Dr. Teagarden and his solution was to just increase dosage of Omep. to 80mg/day - w/o knowing the problem. Seems to be a dr. shortage for people in need of treatment in near term.

Getting a summary of the visit and further recommendations printed out to take home is a plus

Very good

Many tests were ordered, and 8 vials of blood were taken during the visit. I was told the results would be available within a few days via the patient portal. The holiday was in here, and I was advised that extra time might be needed. I found a letter in the patient portal 5 days later, which was basically incomprehensible to me. I called the clinic, and learned that the lab had not run several of the tests that were ordered, and I would be updated with results. I am still waiting. This letter was "signed" by the doctor -- I doubt anyone reviewed It before It was sent out, because It didn't make sense and was Incomplete. I thought this provider was very good, but the lab appears to have done a poor job, and the coordination between lab and clinic was poor, in my case.

Understood the plan - just not sure if it was absolutely necessary. My ratings of recommending others to the practice are only limited by my reluctance to share my recommendations with anyone - good or bad.

I can only say good things about the practice and staff.

I will be scheduling another appt. with *Dr. Dambowy.

I gave the staff "working together" a poor rating because they are located in different offices throughout the Twin Cities area. Sometimes, rhe left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. On Plan of Care, your Survey beat the Plan......What does that tell you about the efficiency of the practice?

My main concern with your clinic is I felt like I was moved from provider to provider. I am not sure if this was a result of covid, but it made communication difficult. I also realize that some of the communication during covid was done via the portal or telephone. My husband and I are senior citizens and not very good on computers. This should be a consideration when trying to communicate with your elderly patients.
