    It is understandably frustrating when front desk staff are unhelpful, especially when there is a discrepancy between reservation details (Suite 230) and the location attended (Suite 220). There should be a note on suite 230 telling patients to go to suite 220. Or the confirmation emails need to be updated. Front desk staff should facilitate a seamless experience, and poor service or misinformation often leads to legitimate complaints. The pens didnt work at registration. I filled out my paperwork online and was told at arrival the online platform didn't work so I had to reduce to forms again.

Please make sure you support them with tools, salary/benefits, and great working environment so that they stay on to help others. Really - in this nightmare, they are a dream come true.

    This is a reference to Dr. Hobart and her staff. She's my oncologist and when you're dealing with cancer, that's a very scary, scary situation to be in. Dr. Hobart was always professional. She instilled confidence in her skills. She was always thorough. She listened. She also showed that she cared about your well-being. And that's very important when you're dealing with a disease like cancer. And I trust her recommendations on everything. I've recommended her to my sister and to my stepdaughter. And they all love Dr. Hobart. She's an awesome professional. And that's it. I give her a 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. Thank you.

    It was a very warm and friendly visit. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was initially apprehensive as a male patient going to a female oriented breast surgery office. The experience was so accepting that I was made at ease immediately. Thank you, Dr. Hobart and your wonderful staff.

    The atmosphere in the waiting room and examining rooms is very relaxing and all of the staff, expecially Dr. Hobart are aware of the need to treat anxious patients with empathy and kindness.
