They gave me a new ring, didn't tell me how to use it or anything like that. They just said insert it with like a tampon. I try to use, go home and try to use it. I mean, I have white spots on my cervix. I told them that. It was a BB and they, she wouldn't listen. I needed some antibiotics because I keep continuing getting UTIs and they still didn't give me the antibiotics because someone took my medicine and they just wouldn't listen and I'm still having trouble with the UTI.

Good evening, I just want that when they call me to give me the day and date of the appointment, like for example, April 5th at 4 PM for your child's appointment, that way I will understand better, thank you.

Only issue is the terrible phone system. Phones are answered by a machine, calls not returned in a timely fashion very often. This seems like a bad place to skimp on staffing and working systems. If I were in charge, you would speak to a human being with each and every call.

The doctors were courteous and polite. They just didn't listen to my symptoms very well. And I never got a call back with my test results.

Dr. Irish is the best. She always finds a solution. Even when she can't make it show always make sure to know everything about us. And before we go into our appointment, let us know what solution, or anything, any type of information where we met her. She answer specked, even if she's really busy.
