    Since it was a yearly check up, Doctor didn't check me at all like previous times. He didn't listen to what I had to say. I've had concerns and questions to ask, he didn't gave me opportunity to do that. He just told me that I have to do some blood work and that's it. And at the end, he just turn back and left. Didn't even say goodbye, or that he is leaving.

    From the front desk, my initial consult with the nurse who accompanied me to the exam room and then, with Dr. Hawes, my visit was excellent. Dr. Hawes is always generous with his time, not stopping at a specified number of minutes, but, after all points of discussion were covered. I am so pleased with my experience over the last several years with the family practice department.
