“I was greeted at the front desk by Angie in a very cheerful way and checked in very quickly and efficiently. Lisa, our nurse, was lovely and professional, making me feel quite comfortable. Dr. Hommel was on schedule. He straightforwardly explained everything. I had knee x-rays, and an MRI did by Renee, who was very courteous and explained everything very well. Becky scheduled my surgery, and she was so sweet and explained everything very thoroughly. In two hours, I had knee x-rays, had an exam by Dr. Hommel, got an MRI approved, had an MRI performed, went over MRI findings with Dr. Hommel, and scheduled surgery. My husband and I left today, agreeing that we felt the office was very organized and ran very smoothly! I think I had one of the best experiences performed by AOA!”
