My primary care physician recommended Dr. Bidani for a medical screening. I scheduled an appointment with the office staff and was given an appointment that was at least three weeks out from the time that I called. Not a big deal since this was only for a screening. I had proceeded to fill out all of the new patient paperwork ahead of the visit in the hopes of being able to speed up the appointment time itself. I arrived at 10:15am for a 10:30am appointment. After about 35 minutes and after seeing patients taken out back that arrived after me, I proceeded to tell the receptionist that I would have to reschedule since I had already been waiting over 30 minutes. The receptionist looked at me with a confused look and asked "you've been waiting for 30 minutes?" I responded in a disappointing tone and then asked "is that normal since you're giving me a look?" What was even more frustrating was a conversation that took place between one of the nurses and this same receptionist that I had dealt with. The conversation could be heard by everyone in the waiting room. The nurse had advised that there was a patient who was just in the other day and she needed to get ahold of him/her to get a procedure scheduled and that the patient had no phone number listed and there was no new patient paperwork in the file. The receptionist responded with "I'm sorry, I'll do better next time." This was the tipping point for me that this medical office is not one that I want to be affiliated with now or ever.

In I walk at 0805 only to find a few people sitting there as it was...THAT didn't set well with me in the least. How much volume do they have here and how far backed up would I have been had I remained with 0915??? I wasn't too thrilled with the frump at the reception desk either. For one thing, my name isn't "Baby," "Hon" or "Doll." Verify this, sign that and initial the other form...and then it's "hurry up and wait" time. At least they had Animal Planet on the tube as I sat in the plain, threadbare lobby. Parenthetically, it's painted the most horrid color of yellow. Two toilets, one small magazine rack and 3 rows of prison-industry seating. Blech! So after a 62 minute wait, I FINALLY get hauled back to the Land of No Return. Originally a 0915 appointment had me going back at around 0905. BTW: I was finished and out the door by 1120. Well once I got back there: totally different and MUCH better story. There was a long line of beds separated by curtains, much as one would find at an ER. Between the lot of the staff back there, I was well cared for and made to feel comfortable. All of 'em from Sandi (RN) to Dave (nurse anesthesiologist) plus others before during and after were professional and caring. They went over my med history more than once to be thorough and make sure nothing was anomalous. So I woke up and it was almost as tho nothing happened (yay, pentathol!) during the hour and change that I was back there. They also took care to make sure I was okay before letting me get dressed and moving along for the day. I was escorted out by one of the staff and I'm told I gotta repeat the process in three years. Well, I'm in no hurry for the time to pass to this business again. However, were one to ask and if given the choice, I'd certainly have no problem using (or reusing, at least) this facility at all. Wee!

My grandmother had a procedure scheduled this morning, very early. It was still dark and the…read moresurgery center isn't very visible at that time of day. So after making a few u-turns, we finally arrived. She was one of the first patients and was taken back almost immediately after checking in. This center doesn't allow family/friends to come back with you before your procedure. I know this bothered my grandmother, and I heard others complain about it as well. However, there are no private rooms. Everyone is brought into what looks like a small version of a hospital surgical recovery room, taken to surgery from that room, and then are brought back to that very spot for recovery, consult, and release. Really, that would be my only complaint about the whole experience. I was called back once my grandmother had woke. While we waited for the doctor to finish a procedure he'd begun on another patient, I could hear everything other doctors and nurses were telling every patient in the room. I'm pretty surprised this isn't considered some sort of privacy violation. Otherwise, all the nurses and staff that were involved with my grandmothers care were fantastic. Everyone was extremely caring, friendly, and even hospitable. I was even brought coffee and asked a few times if I wanted anything more to drink or a snack while we waited. My grandmother has been to this location a few times with my grandfather and says they are always very nice and several of the nurses have been there a long time.
