It was my first appointment to the clinic for a knee injection. I love that the doctor has set up a clinic where you check in receive your shot and simply check out. Very time efficient for patients, staff and the doctor.

No
What could have been done to improve your experience?
The doctor became distracted by a text message about a patient in surgery. I appreciate that the patient is important to Dr. Stirten, but he left my appointment early on that account. I felt abandoned and disrespected because he put someone else else’s Care above mine. I feel like my healthcare is important to me and I would like to think it is important to the BJC system. After this visit, I am not sure.
