The nurse who took me to my room and handled the check in prior to Dr Burroughs was amazing. She said she'd only been there a month or so but she was very kind and welcoming. I hate that I have forgotten her name. I previously saw Dr Dua but I believe Dr Burroughs will be a good change for me.

There was one other person in the the waiting room, we arrived 15 minutes early for the appointment. We were taken to the exam room at the aptmnt time, but we waited nearly 40 minutes for the Dr. When it comes to any elderly patient especially those that are frail and have dementia Should not need to wait that long. If a patient is 10 minutes late for any reason they require you to reschedule and not be seen but yet feel it's ok to be 40 minutes past your aptmnt time to see you. Be fair, try to see patients at their appointed time. I know things happen and sometimes run a little over. Someone should at least pop in after 15 minutes and say the Dr. Will be in shortly I thought they forgot we were there. We have never waited that long before. It's about people's quality of life. I don't mind the wait but to the elderly it seems much much longer. Over the years they have been great and this was only the second time seeing this Dr. Thank you for your time.
