We waited just over two hours to be seen, causing us to miss an appointment scheduled for after the appointment with Dr. Firpi. We realize that emergencies occur and we appreciate a doctor taking time with each patient as needed. However, at sometime during our wait, someone should have been able to speak to us and let us know about the delay. We saw Dr. Ishmael and she took her time, but was unable to answer some of our questions regarding the procedure scheduled for May 31st. When we did see Dr Firpi, it was a brief visit and there was insufficient time to discuss some questions I had regarding my upcoming cancer surgery. We like Dr. Firpi and have confidence in him, but our visit the 24th was not very encouraging.
