I just didn't like the fact that I was contact the day before my appointment, stating that I would be canceled and possibly rescheduled due to.

For first visit, my overall impression was one of 1) lack of communication Re: continuing delay of appointment 2) assistance of any kind was given, once asked 3) staff was pleasant but distracted. At one point no one in front reception area for almost 15 minutes. Perhaps, this was an unusual day in this office overall, but did not particularly inspire confidence for this newly referred patient. I will try again in couple of months. Hopefully, all will go more smoothly and efficiently.
