Spring is (Finally) Here!

How do you make the most of everything spring has to offer? Start with these blogs, authored by our own providers, about how to stay healthy and happy this season:

How Did We Do?
We are committed to making every visit to our office the best that it can be – but we need your help!
A few hours after an office visit, you will receive a brief survey via text and email asking you about your experience. You can respond through whichever platform is easiest for you. It is only a few short questions and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
You can remain anonymous or you can opt to have a member of our administrative team connect with you to discuss your feedback.
Don’t have time to complete it right away? Don’t worry! You will get a reminder a few days later.
We thank you in advance for lending your voice to our quality improvement efforts. Help us be the best that we can be!
Wait Times
We aren’t kidding when we say we look at every post-visit survey response and consider how we can use your feedback to improve your experience. And if you have shared frustration with a long wait time, we hear you.
We generate reports quarterly to track appointment times and identify areas where we can improve our responsiveness without compromising on the quality of your care. For the 1st quarter of 2025, average appointment times – from check-in to check-out – were:
· South Street: 43 minutes 17 seconds
· Bala Cynwyd: 43 minutes 20 seconds
· Fishtown: 50 minutes 17 seconds
We recognize that there are outliers and we are doing our best to understand what causes some appointments to extend beyond our average times. We will continue to make this a priority!
