I love Dr. Pirkle and all the staff I have met are very nice! The only thing is that I am seen consistently late every time whether that is waiting in the waiting room past my appt time or I’m sitting in the exam room for awhile. Dr. Pirkle is always so sweet and will apologize if she’s running late but I usually carve out extra time to get to the appt because I am always seen late.
