Yes, I'm very happy with my provider and this may just be a, I don't know, a problem with the communication at the front desk, but I was there three minutes after my appointment and I was waiting in the waiting area until 15 minutes after the appointment, which the doctor commented on that I was 15 minutes late, but I wasn't really. I was three minutes late.
