"Love my doctor Oleana Lamendola. The staff is wondrrful."
"As usual, no problems or delays…"
"Dr Lamendola was wonderful"
"She explained everything to me"
"I saw Dr Benjamin Kurz, everyone was nice and I didn’t have to sit in the waiting room long at all. Overall a good experience"
"The receptionist I had was so very rude I have never been talked to in such a terrible way! She was the youngest receptionist there. She just as soon called me a liar as not! She said the Insurance card I give all my Drs offices to as not the correct one, so I gave her 3 other ones all with the same id numbers and she still said it was incorrect I told I have had the same insurance since 2013 and have been going there since before then and all my other doctors have no problem with the card! I have Humana Gold Plus! I get new cards every year and I make self am a nurse and she made an awful face and rolled her eyes at me! I wasn’t rude in any way to her at all! I’ve had no trouble anywhere else I go! She said that what I gave her was for prescriptions only!!! It so at all! It’s All on the same card as is my dental too! Then I sat for over 55 minutes and went back up to see if she knew how long it would be because I had another appointment I had to go to! She said she didn’t kno! I was there early for my 8:15 appointment and I had an appointment at 10:00 in Prairieville. She would not call in the back to check . I finally got to the back and was told they were never notified I was there until I went back and asked the nurse who was calling patients back! I be been going to Dr McDonald for many years and if I didn’t like him so much I would be hyping to find another Dr because of how I was treated!! The NP Carolyn Borne is also excellent and gave me a number to call if I ever have trouble again! So overall my experience was not so pleasant as I had to deal with the very unkind receptionist and I feel she should be reprimanded for her behavior ."
