Dr. Telonis & staff are great. But practice needs to be more accessible. To patients when they need to be seen for a sick visit. I was sick last month. Was told they were overbooked go to Urgent care. I did & was not satisfied. Was still sick a week later. Was told I couldn’t be seen that day again. I told the girl I was still sick Nothing she could do. She did call me 20 min later with an appt which I appreciated. The office was empty when I got there. But maybe people were in rooms. Office should leave some openings to see pt on a sick call basis.
