What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
This was my first visit with Dr. MacFalda. It took 6 months to get in to see him. He and his nurse were very thorough and kind. The front office staff (where I checked in/out, and scheduled next appointment) was rude, had an attitude, and was unprofessional. She made 2 snide remarks and acted as if I were a nuisance. The Dr. had written 3-4 month follow up on my next appointment note. When she gave me a date of more than 4 months away I questioned if he had earlier availability. Her reply was “unless you want to drive to Alpena, this is what you get”.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Felt like provider didn’t want to listen and was wanting to get somewhere else. I don’t go often and had serious concerns this visit and he was just abrupt. It was actually upsetting I stayed with him as a provider even though he’s tier 2 and will have to pay out of pocket more, may just make the switch now
