For the question about the doctor, ordering tests and bloodwork: I saw him for the first time to discuss the surgery. He is going to perform on me next week. He did everything right!

I would just say it was one of the best medical experiences I've had. Dr Ouellette took his time explaining what I was dealing with and how we could take care of it. Helped me understand. His staff was so professional, efficient and friendly. Can't say enough about my visit!

I had an 8am appointment and was about ten minutes early. When I first got there the office was locked. It then opened around 7:58 and I had to wait a few minutes for anyone to show up. When someone did she kept asking how I got into the office and seemed concerned that the door had been open. I was roomed probably around 8:10, so not super late, but it was a confusing and odd experience.
