There is always some wait to see the doctor. Depending on unforseen happenings, it is sometimes longer than other times. I believe the staff and doctors do their best to move things along as well as they can on any given day.

My original appointment was during the week of the snowstorm. When trying to reschedule, no one returned my phone call for several days. When I finally did get the first person on the phone, they were dismissive. Thankfully I called back and this time, they explained the situation much better. When I heard from Mandy, she was wonderful in getting me an appointment the next day. I realize there was a lot going on with the snowstorm and water damage at the Legacy Oaks site, however when you have cardiac patients with issues, there has to be a better back up system.

I feel he needs to take time with the patient and not act like you are a number! He never made eye contact and wasn't very caring to the other needs of a persons life he just said don't do it if you want to die it's up to you! I feel just say not to do something isn't right especially not know the history of the problem in full ! I went to him because I know he is the best but bed side minor needs help!

like I said just because of his experience! I walked out feeling lost and not know exactly what I needed to do ! I asked for written instructions and it was like pulling teeth !

The first available appointment was almost a month out.
★★★★★
★★★★★
Feb 2, 2021
We listed two pharmacies--one local Walgreens and Express-Scripts for a 90-day supply. Dr. Canales prescribed a diuretic to begin right away. The prescription was sent to Exp-Scr instead of Walgreens and we are still waiting to get it. This has thrown off the follow up blood work and appointment as well as relief.
