We have been thoroughly pleased with the care provided by Dr. Eberson and appreciate his thoroughness, patient approach, and followup actions. The only thing that I consistently note in these surveys is that the wait time is fairly excessive. We arrived at 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. appt. and still had to wait 30 minutes for my son's x‐ray. From start to finish‐‐check‐in, x‐ray, and appointment with provider‐‐we were at UO for 2 hrs. and 15 min. | 100% |

We waited over two hours to see dr ebeson. The nurse was not friendly at all moved us around in rooms. Then I needed a note for my daughter for school and the lady at the check out was rude and made us wait as she waited on other people. They needed more staff and with friendlier dispositions especially when my daughter misses almost a whole day of school for a 10 minute doctor visit. | 70% |
