Great care

Everyone is nice and attentive. I feel that they actually care about the patients and that says a lot. They listen and they are willing to fight insurance companies who have made it harder for working people to get what is needed but the Drs fight for our rights. A+

This was the best experience I have ever had at a Dr appointment. It was quick and comprehensive. The only thing I would change would be the amount of people in the room. 5 people in the room is a lot at one time.

The ladies at the front desk where I checked in and out were rude. As I walked up to the counter to check out I stood at the counter for a few minutes before the two ladies addressed me. They were conversing about something outside of work. None of the ladies that work the counter are never pleasant. It's like they are not happy with their job. I don't ever get a greeting but on the other hand when I come around the corner every one is very pleasant. When I checked in I wasn't greeted.

Dr. Mercado is amazing, the staff are all caring and friendly. I never wait for more than 10 minutes to see the doctor.

The doctor seemed more concerned with sounding smart to her students than helping me understand my conditions and concerns. The ?intern? asked if I wanted to 'freeze off' some "pre-cancer" skin on my nose, and the doctor didn't even mention that when she came in. I also talked to the ?intern? about a full body mole scan, and the doctor didn't mention that either and I forgot to bring it up again. I asked about testing this pinky nail for cancer and the doctor just said "well, we would have to do a biopsy" and sort of brushed it off. I feel this process is flawed.

The resident who saw me (Pieper?) was professional; efficient, understanding, and responsive to my needs. The procedure he did was very fast and painless.

Dr. Mercado is the best. We have used her for close to 50 years with our sons. My husband and I also use her sence We have got older. The assistant yesterday was wonderful. She was very detailed on looking at me. James the first person I came in contact with was very nice and friendly.
