The ASV he wrote on my chart made it seem that he spent so much time going over things me . I was not in that office more than 5 mnts. He made me feel like i was not important and my reason for being there was a waste of time. And his summary was based on his assumptions not what we briefly discussed.

Need to do better on maintaining timely appointments. Waiting an hour plus past your scheduled appt time is unacceptable. My appointment took almost 2 hours and I saw the nurse and provider for 20 minutes combined at best.

Rest room access was not consistent with sternum care protocol.. Doors required pushing and pulling.

I forgot to mention a symptom to him during my visit, so I sent an email about it through the portal. He and his nurse followed up promptly.

Dr. Vaval was very late due to other complex patients before me. As such, the appointment seemed rushed. However, I like Dr. Vaval very much. He is thorough and explains things clearly.
