My care provider is very good. The clinic staff and schedulers don't seem to consider providing timely care to their patients as a priority.

I like Dr. Bollinger but I have major reservations about the overall practice. It has been my experience over the years that wait times in the Eye Clinic are often unacceptably long. This occurred when I used to see Dr. xxx before his retirement. While I like Dr. Bollinger, I have decided that I will look into other providers.
