    It's been a week and I STILL don't have scan results. Very stressful! I don't know if the problem…read moreis with them or with Chippenham Hospital....either way...not a good way to run a business.

    As others have noted, the wait time here is a killer. They don't really have convenient appointment…read moretimes for folks working a 9-5. It's even less ideal for folks like me who aren't allotted partial PTO in their jobs and try to make an appointment over their lunch break. A 3:15 PM appointment means you'll be lucky to see your clinician by 4 PM. Really not ideal. Oh, and they tell you to arrive 30 minutes ahead of time. Why? No. I spoke with my nurse practitioner about it earlier in the week, and she confirmed that they are always 'crazy' and behind due to a litany of tasks that they have to do. I totally get being swamped with patients and procedures, but I wish the office management would get their act together a wee bit to be more respectful of their patient's time. Everyone who works there is really nice, and the NP I saw, Stephanie Herndon, honed in on my issue right away in a way that no other clinician has in the past. Her diagnosis seemed on point and she was really personable and kind. She took her time with me, which I appreciated also. I've previously seen Dr. Farrell also, who is also great. So: 5 stars for the clinician, 1 star for the wait time.
