The only bad experiences is with receptions answering the phone,or not returning messages. My yearly check up post Gastric bypass was 18 months before they called.

I live more than a hour away from this Doctors office. My appointment including registration time , time with the nurse AND time with the Surgeon took less than 15 minutes. That's a lot of driving for only a 15 minute appointment. Very frustrating

I was very happy with this experience overall! The staff at checking in, making sure on my insurance, waiting to speak with the doctor, and then the whole experience with the doctor was just wonderful!!

Doctor is poor ar follow up and knowing anything about after care complications. Passes that to the patient to ask other doctors instead . Dis not schedule enough time w me based in the severity of my situation. Not able to address any of the implications that resulted from complex and emergency surgeries that resulted from their care.

The lady that scheduled color up appointments is consistently rude. Never nice or approachable. She made my preop appts without asking me my schedule, so when I asked to change them due to my work schedule, she was extremely rude. Unprofessional

I am very comfortable talking yo Dr Halpin & know I will respect her medical advice.

The doctor is very knowledgable but I feel she has poor listening skills and is rigid in her thinking. She is also not very welcoming or supportive, and spends 90% of the visit time looking into/working on her computer rather than conversing with me. This is extremely off-putting.
