This is not for the Dr visit but for the check in process. I…read morethink it's great being cautious with this covid and every Dr. Office I've been as long as as people have on their masks when entering they can walk in out of the cold and wind and so their information in private and then sit down. This office has a table and women standing in the door asking every question imaginable, (exp do you have a runny nose ,blah blah and do you have diarrhea?) out loud for everyone to hear the responses and they spray your hands take your temperature before going in. Even if you know the drill she keeps going on and you just keep saying no like she has been programmed and can't stop from her routine. Then as you walk in another one had a clip board out loud where it is not private says: Do you still live at...... Do you still have the same insurance..... What's your Birthday..... Everyone in the waiting area can hear your responses and write down your address I am serious!!! This is the 2nd time dealing with this and I can see other people's expressions as well like really!??? What happen to privacy? These working the door certainly don't practice that! This is the only part I can not stand about going here. Otherwise the Dr. Is great. When leaving you don't stop to make any appointments you just leave and they will call when the next appointment is due for you to come in.

Wow, what a difference from the last check-up. Went in for my yearly BMI test. First off, my…read moreappointment was at 4:00 they called me at ten minutes before, yea! The nurse, Danya, was very friendly and personable. She took my vitals while chit chatting about this and that and acted as we were long lost friends. She left he room and within a couple minutes, the PA Tami Ford came in to go over bloodwork results. all the times I've been here before the doctor never came in until 10 or 15 minutes passed. She treated me with professionalism and respect, listened to my concerns and even talked about my prescriptions and how they counter act with each other. As long as the office keeps it up this way, I wont dread coming to see my doctor.

I have nothing but praises for Dr. John Mark Bennett. In years past I have visited a local…read morehospital, on two occasions, after hours and was diagnosed and sent home. A few days would pass without relief and I would call Dr. Bennett's office to schedule an appointment. Due to my situation, they placed me on standby for any cancellations and my wait wasn't very long. During my visit with Dr. Bennett, he would immediately provide a different diagnosis and provide the medication to make me well, and I did get well. I have nothing but praise for the man and his staff and worry that he will retire one day and I will be left at the mercy of who knows. You can be prepared to wait past your appointment time, but he does take his time with his patients and you cannot always predict the time he will spend with you. Be kind to others and realize that they too have questions that need answered just like you will.

No problems with the nurses or Dr. Bennett, they are courteous and generally helpful. More personal…read moreattention would be nice, but that's the issue with all family practices I have been to across the U.S. The biggest issue is scheduling of appointments and the wait times. The past 3 visits, this year, have been increasingly unbearable as far as wait times - minimum of 1hr to 2hrs in the waiting room, plus 45 minutes to one hour on top of that in the exam room after the 5-10 minute visit with the nurse, and before the 10-15 minute visit with the doctor. The wait times seem to have increased at least double fold since last year. Additionally, it is often difficult to schedule appointments within a reasonable time frame - often the wait time is a minimum of 2 weeks, and often over a month or even two to three. There was a single occasion that I was able to get a same day appointment when I was extremely sick recently, which made me happy, however, I ended up spending 3 hours at the office, feeling quite miserable, and unfortunately the antibiotics prescribed to me I was resistant to - would have been nice if they tested me initially and had that information on file, but most doctors fail to do so (except for one WALK IN CLINIC (!!) in VA that did so right away). So as a result of that, I spent the better part of the month barely able to function due to a severe sinus infection that left me disoriented and dizzy.
