This appointment was at the Springs locaation and I had virtually no wait at all. My appointments at the downtown office usually have had a wait of more than hour. I will try to make my appointments at the Springs office from now on.

It was easy to schedule an appointment, there was minimal waiting in the office, everyone listened to me, and the doctors were knowledgeable in their specialty. They explained my condition and set up a plan. I feel so comforted knowing such competent experts are there to help me get through this.

Dr Eiferman spoke about how he and Dr Compton would work as a team and how everything was in the system that they could both see his charts and notes. Yet when we saw Dr Compton it was as if he never reviewed Dr Eiferman's notes and requests for joint services. With my condition, they have to be a team and as of right now, they are not on the same page.

My son was shot in the head and lost vision in his eye. The plastic surgeon explained the procedure for having his eye removed and also expressed that I should allow my son to decide when he is comfortable and ready to have the surgery unless it becomes a more urgent matter. I really appreciated his honesty and patience with us!
