Dr. Whelan and his large team are top not h! each and everyone! I was introduced to each and everyone, their roles were explained, I had the opportunity to ask every single question I had clearly and they gave me as much time as I needed… I never felt rushed, I felt heard, comfortable, my needs considered…truly the most impressive medical team I have ever worked with… Edward Ng, the anesthesiologist working with Dr Richard Whelan was incredible, he stayed patient with my battery of questions and non typical queries, great guy! And every nurse I encountered kind, sweet, understanding and unruffled

The office stuff is way terrible than you can imagine. The office told me the prescription will be there before a week from my surgery. I waited for the day gets closer than go to the pharmacy. When I go the pharmacy, they don’t have my prescription at all and some of them got recall. When I call office, they don’t admit that they didn’t send out prescription yet. They just say they will send “now”. And they have so many excuses. No apologize at all. Plus, they blame you about it!!!! They says some of recall medicines are depends on the store which totally doesn’t make sense at all. Recall is recall for all things, can’t be only selected store. I should start from next day for preparing for my surgery, they haven’t send anything yet. Dr. Whelan is great doctor, warm, good heart but his office people are really terrible.
