Staff very friendly and professional. The doctor and his resident were very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and kind in their manner. I have confidence that I have received high quality work from everyone. There is one problem, that would prevent me from recommending this department to my friends, and that is that it took a very long time after the tech checked my vision before the doctor and resident came to see me in the room. I was at the clinic for three hours. During this time, I probably spent nearly an hour with the doctor and resident, after about 30 or 40 minutes with the tech. In between, I waited well over an hour before the doctor and resident came to see me. It could be that the doctor and resident were spending an hour with another patient. I very much valued the hour they spent seeing me and working on updating my prescription. My question is, could there be a different way to organize the schedule so there is not so much waiting time? Maybe I should see the tech one day and come back the next week just to see the doctor and his resident. Or maybe there is another way to handle the time spent at the office. Don't get me wrong-my opinion of the quality of the medical consultation I received is very high. But it concerns me that there was so much wasted time during my visit. Thanks for listening.

Dr. Ellis provided the most kind, caring service and follow-up for my son. It was much appreciated for what could be a very unsettling situation for him.

The waiting period between nurse visit and doc visit was ridiculously too long. There's no reading material in the rooms.

My daughter really loved her experience in the facility

I waited almost 2.5 hrs. It's ok. I believe it you don't have to wait for a doctor or a seat in a restaurant you should heed that as a warning and leave. Dr Ellis is extremely smart.

Dr. Ellis is the best doctor. He's been taking care of my baby since she was one years old, and we are just pleased and ecstatic to have him in our lives. Thank you.
