Today after my Dr. visit I had to go to the lab to draw blood and urine. I had to wait in line more than 45 minutes. I almost left, but I would have to come again. I did not like waiting so long.

Dr Whittier and her staff are akways professional and listen to my concerns. I know the WellStar Lab is not a part of their practice but something definitely needs to be done with the wait times at the lab. Every time i go the wait is always lengthy. I waited 45 minutes today and when I got back there one of the techs was on the computer working on her time. The waiting area was packed for the lab. There is no excuse for a 45 minute wait. This is not a one time occurrence.

Easy parking, nice people, lab on site. They make life easier for those of us who are caring for elderly parents with mobility issues. I hate the parking deck and traffic issues at 55 Witcher Street.

I love my provider, but did not love my experience with the office today. I was told to be there at 7:00 but when I got there I saw that the office doesn't open until 7:30 and wasn't called back until after 7:30. I understand asking patients to be a few minutes early, but not 30!

I understand I was moving from a trusted doctor I had seen for years and every doctor is different. I understand she did not want to continue my pain medication but she was very short, unsmiling, and did not acknowledge my pain beyond offering a referral to pain management. I left feeling as though she was angry with me.
