Doctor listens to you and answer your questions. 
Staff doesn't like to accommodate patients needs. Staff is courteous but is not there to help the patient. 
Very difficult to get an appointment in less than 2 or 3 weeks. if you need to see the doctor on a short call, you better hit the Urgent Care, because by the time you get your appointment you either are better or hospitalized.
