06/18/2021

The problem isn't with the provider. *Dr. Whitesell is an excellent doctor and follows up with everything. Your biggest problem is with your office. They need a lot of work, and I don't believe in passing the buck. Maybe you should look at how Montana does it. All your offices are that way. Also look at some of your nurses. Since we moved to Idaho we have had nothing but problem with the offices.
