This isn't terribly important, but worth noting. - On my first appointment, it was made over the phone. I verified the time and date, but when I arrived, there was no record of an appointment. - On that visit, I called ahead to get directions to Dr. Wood's office. I was told to go to the Emergency Room entrance and they would direct me. After arriving there, they had no idea where his office was and sent me to Entrance 4. I asked a guard and was directed to Entrance 1. They knew where the office was and sent me to the Medical entrance. - Once I discovered I did not have an appointment, the receptionist was very kind and made a new (2nd) afternoon appointment for me the following week. - As I'm driving to my second appointment, I phoned ahead to let the office know I would be five minutes late. The receptionist looked up my name and said, "You're a new patient. Dr. Wood only sees new patients in the morning." So, she canceled my second appointment and made a third appointment in the morning of the following week.
