The doctor first meeting made me feel relaxed because I was feeling kind of looked over because it was over a hour before I was seen and I had to go up to the desk to find out what was going on people was coming in and being called right away so I was feeling looked over. But felt much better after I met the doctor

I haven't been to the doctor for a long time because I feel it has been a waste of time. I came to this visit with concerns and they were not addressed. I waited in the exam room for 25 minutes to have the doctor spend maybe 10 minutes with me. He did not address my concerns which brought me into the office.
June 12, 2024

All staff members in the office were professional and cordial. I have been Dr. Bardwell's patient for over 35 years. He has always listened carefully and answered all of my questions and concerns. He delivered my daughter and now she is his patient and heading to medical school. Dr. Bardwell and I have "grown up and grown older" together and I am going to miss him terribly when he retires later this year. However, he is most deserving of this next phase of life and I am excited for him. He was very kind to refer me to another physician in the practice.

I set an appointment to get my birth control removed and get another to replace it and they gave me a doctor who could not do it. It was a waste of time and I have to come back to see the doctor that can do it for me on another day. I am very disappointed because when I made my appointment I specifically told the appointments that are what I needed done.
