Kenneth B Svensson

Definitely not coming back. The staff made a mistake scheduling me as a follow up (God not on what!), instead of annual check up, resulting in a hefty payment for me. Some staff members were rude. Had to wait over an hour to be seen by a doctor on a scheduled appointment.

So far I’m not real impressed with this practice. My husband and I went in to establish ourselves as patients. I met Dr. Svensson, who is very nice, however my husband never did got the chance to meet him. Instead he was seen by an intern. When we where there, blood work was done and sent to a lab. They spoke to us a little… asked if we where healthy or if we had any problems… and then sent us on our way. The visit took about 20 minutes. During my husband’s visit, he asked for a prescription for migraine headaches that he usually gets and Dr. Svensson’s intern said that she would write the subscription when he got the head aches. Well today he needs and it is impossible to get them to fill it and the head aches are getting worse by the second. Is there no one there who can write a prescription and send it in? This is ridiculous. I’m ready to find another doctor if this is what we will have to put up with every time we need something. So here he is, suffering all day because they can’t get it together. It doesn’t take a doctor to know that there are certain illnesses, like head aches, that are better caught in the beginning so you should have medicine on hand. Not happy.

He’s a nice enough guy, but seems just like a vehicle for referrals.
Sample conversation:
Me: Hmm… I have these weird bumps on my arm.
Dr: Okay here’s a referral to a dermatologist
Me: Don’t you want to look at them? Maybe it is just an allergy or heat rash or something.
Dr: Well I wouldn’t know. I can give you a referral to an allergist too.
So not very helpful. Also, the wait can be rather long even though the visits are frightfully quick.
