Here is a sampling of responses highlighting our areas of improvement: My daughter s original doctor isn t always the one treating her. No toys for children. The length of wait time once we are in an exam room, although I appreciate that the staff are patient and not rushed with me, so I can appreciate the reason for the wait! Sometimes the wait can be too long, but usually only certain times of the day. No toll free number, we live outside of Crossville. There are no toys for kids to play with. It is hard to get an appointment scheduled that does not require missing a part of the school day.

Thank you! I would have to brag on every staff member we have come in contact with. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Stefanie is wonderful and has went out of her way for us so many times. Dr. Suzanne has been such a blessing and advocate for my special-needs child. I love the nurse line. No matter how simple my concerns, they are always friendly and very helpful and encourage me to call any time. Ms. Kristel is awesome. Always super friendly. We are always greeted with a smile when we walk through the door. The doctors and staff are all awesome. I will recommend my grandchildren be brought here. We really appreciate everyone here over the years- always had a positive experience. Every staff member seems to care about the people that come through the door.

7 We seriously consider all recommendations and feedback received from our patients. Cleanliness is a top priority at Plateau Pediatrics; therefore, we do not offer toys in the waiting or exam rooms because it would be too difficult to keep them clean between patients. However, we do offer crayons and activity booklets for children to use and then take home after the visit. The office was not designed to accommodate a well waiting area. Dr. Suzanne explains this decision in the article Why don t you have separate sick and well waiting rooms? However, we strive to bring patients back as fast as possible to the exam rooms to limit exposure to sick children. Each exam room is cleaned and sanitized between patients. We also provide children s masks for anyone who is identified as potentially spreading an airborne infection through coughing. We are proud to report that no comments were made concerning the temperature of the building after a few responses from the 2013 survey indicated that some families were uncomfortable. The practice administrator has worked diligently at normalizing the temperature of the building over the past year. We truly appreciate all of the positive comments from our patients as it helps build confidence and morale among our staff. If at any time you have feedback for us, please feel free to contact our Practice Administrator, Villa Edwards at (931)
