    Staff member called to postpone appointment twice and showed no concern for any inconvenience that caused for me.

    For this particular visit, the timing was specifically coordinated with UConn Imaging to have the results of my imaging appointment ready for my appointment with the doctor an hour after I left imaging and the doctor had the results when he saw me. That was very well done.

    Dr. Ristau is the best of the best and has a great team. The staff should learn to speak slowly and loudly to seniors.
