I have to agree with the SLOW analysis that someone else made. On my first visit, they didn't call me till over an hour from my scheduled appt. time (and I had arrived 20 minutes *early* with paperwork already done). My second visit was better since I had them book me super-early in the AM. My third visit they called me into the examining room only about 15 minutes late but then I sat there freezing for 35 minutes waiting for the doc. Then they don't apologize, they act like that's the way things are supposed to be. \r

I've had 2 docs there so far. The first seemed aloof and like he didn't care what was wrong with me, he wanted to do cortisone shot, wait a few weeks with immobilization, and then when at my followup I said I was still dysfunctionally messed up, he sent me on my way without ordering any diagnostic tests. He just said, well, start using it more and come back if it gets worse. Totally not what I wanted to hear, given my functional problem and the high co-pay I have to shell out for a specialist visit! A couple of months later, in constant pain, I decided to give them another try. I called and told the front desk I wanted a different doctor. They said sure. This second doctor seemed perhaps a little more interested but the exam again took about 1 minute (like the first time). He ordered a diagnostic test, which was good, but told me that if the test revealed a problem, he'd have to refer me to a wrist specialist. I don't understand why the front desk didn't just hook me up with a wrist specialist to begin with? \r

I can't comment on their surgical skills -- yet. I'm unsure whether I will be comfortable with letting one of them cut me open, honestly. They seem so brusque! I'm afraid they will spend about 3 minutes on the surgery! \r
Pros: They have a good reputation
Cons: I haven't yet experienced why they have a good reputation
