We live adistance from the clinic and try to schedule several appts when we need to have an appt. This visit tests were scheduled in the hospital and because it took 2 hrs to be seen I was late for my PFT.

May 3, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I personally do not like having to be here 15mins before my appointment. I already have to leave over an hour before that 15 mins to get here. Then I don't get called back until my appointment time and by then 30mins has gone by. It is confusing when they give an appointment time, is that the actual time or the 15 mins prior time as the person doesn't specify. I have been here earlier 15mins prior thinking I had to add the 15mins early which then makes my wait time 45mins!! Isn't there a better way to do this?

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Amanda does a great job administering my Botox treatments. I do feel that it is ridiculous for you to require me to arrive at my appointment 15 minutes early or you mark me a no show. There is no grace given. If my appt. is for 10:00 I should at least be given until that time to arrive. This has caused me to have to use more than my allowed lunch hour multiple times. At my last appt. I wasn't taken back for vitals until 40 minutes past my scheduled appt. time. Which I showed up early for. You need to do better!!!
