Annual Well Woman Exam
excellent care, on time, got appointment in a reasonable time. However I am unhappy with the way you now do calendars, quarterly (?). By the time you call me and say that I am due for an exam, and I remember to call back a few days later, all the slots for my Dr. are taken. I want to be able to schedule my annual exam a year out, then forget about it until I see it on my calendar. It is fine for me if the Dr. decides a couple months before the appointment to take a vacation and change the date. Then you can call and suggest some dates that she is available. That happens all the time with other doctors. Thank you.

Salena answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I am confident in her knowledge and skills. I wish my primary was like Salena. I did wonder why another staff entered the room during my pelvic exam. I assume it was for my protection however it would help to be informed why.

She provided estimates for when I should expect lab results back and talked about the next phases of perimenopause and menopause.

Wait times were reasonable (I've had terrible experiences at this center with wait times in the past, but not this time!). Salena was also fantastic -- very knowledgeable, approachable, personable. I felt like she listened and told me what I needed to know. Would be very happy to do another visit with her.
