I have always felt well taken care of with any questions answered right away. I REALLY LIKE MYCHART and how quickly it is populated with information and test results. I know how backed up all medical providers are due to the COVID interferance. You people are doing an awesome job making me feel cared for even if I do have to wait to be scheduled for the next step in my journey. THANK YOU!
