11/11/2023

Seems very knowledgeable

10/31/2023

I waited over an hour to see the doctor and the PA. I understand that there are delays in service but communication is essential. What should have been a routine appointment I spent 90 minutes to have the doc explain to me everything that was in my online assessment. Tell me nothing new and the want me to follow up on a year for no apparent health need. I feel like having good insurance is a way to pad appointments and unnecessary procedures. Maybe I’m wrong.

04/05/2023

Dr. taggert was very easy to interact with and answered questions well, but only saw him just before surgery. Should have been able to talk with him about risks and benefits at a prior appointment (as I have with other providers with St Peter's. Dr. taggert was also very comforting throughout the procedure, since I was fully alert and chatted some with him. So far, I feel good about Dr. Taggert!).

The nurse said hello then left to never be seen again. She sent a man, who was not a provider, but said he was asked to help out. This man was trying to figure out how to hook up the wires from the machine so that it could take my mother's vitals.
