This was the first time I met Krista, she was very pleasant, listened to me and answered my questions explained all the tests she was having me take. I feel very confident in her care.

Krista Mcnamara is an amazing physician. I know they she will respond when I need her. She listens, gives advice, problem solves with me. The unfortunate issue i run into is, when I need to see her the appointment is 3-4 months out. They only option I'm given is to call in the morning to see if an appt is available for that day. Doesn't work well for a working person. If I need a physician my only choice is ER or Urgent Care.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Appointments for current patients be when they need it not 3 months out.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
This last visit was a bit of a let down. Krista was very thorough, as usual, but the M/A made me feel as though my very presence was an inconvenience. Why send the M/A back in after the visit with the provider for them to tell you with very flat affect, "Your next visit is on the portal."
What could have been done to improve your experience?
If the provider states that they would like the patient to try a sample medication to help with an issue, that should be communicated to the M/A.

The only issue I have is, I always E-check in answering all the questions completely then asked again when I come in for my appointment. I will quit the E-check in if the questions at the appointment are the same.

Echeck in or at appt questions, pick one but it shouldn't be both.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Medical assistant was very polite and kind. Krista listened to my concerns and called me back herself with the results. She was again, able to figure out what was going on. She is amazing. The young lady that did my xray was super quick and friendly. No complaints here!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
When I called earlier in the week for an appointment, the young lady on the phone was not so nice. Short, stern and seemed like she did not care. She told me to call Thursday for a same day appointment as Krista was out of the office. I asked if she had anything the next week or that Friday...she said "NO" I asked if anyone else could see me and again it was "NO. She could have said...I am sorry but ....
