PA and Dr did not introduce themselves they just came in and started working
I greatly appreciate Dr. Mierisch's efforts to speak directly to my daughter and involve her in the decision making.
Have recommended this clinic and Dr
Dr. Mierisch even had my back x-rayed while I was there instead of sending me back to my physician. He said it is sometimes difficult to get an appointment right away and I was in quite a lot of pain because I had fallen a week ago. I really appreciated that.
Great asset to the Samaritan team, now if I could only stop needing their services!
Excellent care
All very good.
Excellent experience. The physician spoke directly to my daughter in a respectful manner that allowed her to feel in charge of her own care. I appreciate that he did not direct his questions to me and then expect me to answer on her behalf.
