Exceptional staff!
I arrived well before my appointment time as requested but still had to wait an hour and a half to be seen. The front desk personnel did not keep me informed about the delay and it was only at the very end that they said they were almost ready for me. I was just about ready to leave as the waiting room had emptied out and it was lunch time. I arrived at 10:35 for an 11:15 appointment.
