    This was a sick call and I was set up with Dr. Hickey, who I had never seen before. He is not my primary care physician, so when it comes to recommendations, that is why I gave a nine. I found him to be very amiable and efficient and friendly, but it was a one-time visit.

    Dr. Hickey has always been my primary care physician at your office. I find him to be very professional, takes his time, and I would highly recommend him. I know he's only working part-time now, and that's a shame, but absolutely he's number one as far as I'm concerned.

    Yeah, Dr. Hickey was very professional, very thorough. He took his time. I didn't feel rushed at all. I felt very patiently listened to. And then he looked into one of my questions and did a little digging and gave me a follow-up call about whether or not I ought to get a measles vaccine since I was born in [redacted]. So that was all great. And I would be very happy to see him again. And I'm really glad that Dr. [redacted] has added him to her team. I think that she's done a wonderful job ensuring that her patients get appropriate care. And I was very happy that he was available to see me.
