2018-11-05T00:00:00Z	5 November 4, 2018	Dr. Cai was very informative, polite and professional!
2018-11-01T00:00:00Z	4.58 October 31, 2018	I saw Dr Cai because Dr Simpkins did not have a convenient opening. I have some abdominal discomfort and I thought I should come in and get it checked out. It was not urgent, but I was interested in getting it looked at sooner rather than later.
2018-10-30T00:00:00Z	5 October 29, 2018	My appointment was at 10:00 I got here at 9:30, I told them when I signed in I was early and if possible I'd like to be seen sooner, they took me right back as I was out at 10:15 or so.
2018-10-25T00:00:00Z	5 October 24, 2018	Dr. Cai listened carefully to my concerns and although I will be referred to dermatology, made me feel that my concerns were heard and I was reassured by this.
2018-10-24T00:00:00Z	5 October 23, 2018	Dr. Cai was attentive, professional, courteous & personable!
2018-10-23T00:00:00Z	3 October 22, 2018	As you get older you need a physician that pays attention to the details The patient should not have to tell the Dr how to conduct the exam
2018-10-19T00:00:00Z	5 October 18, 2018	Dr. Cai was familiar with my file and it was apparent he he'd spent time studying it. He treated me with great respect and care and told me what to expect and when. I have true confidence in his medical judgement. More, Dr.Cai pointed out a discrepancy in my Rx lists that could have significant adverse affects if not corrected.
2018-10-17T00:00:00Z	5 October 16, 2018	A thorough, professional appointment. I'm quite pleased with the work at IHA.
2018-10-11T00:00:00Z	5 October 10, 2018	He listened to my concerns and helped me with my acute problem immediately!!
2018-10-11T00:00:00Z	5 October 10, 2018	This was probably the first time I have ever visited the doctor where I was actually seen before my appointment. I arrived early and was almost immediately seen by the doctor.
2018-10-09T00:00:00Z	5 October 8, 2018	Everything was fine -- no issues - my problem solved

2018-09-11T00:00:00Z	5 September 10, 2018	Dr. Cai is excellent. He is very caring, understanding and ever the professional. He reviewed my record before coming into the room and asked me about issues I had on the last visit and what the status was on them. I really appreciate him as a provider and a person.
2018-09-05T00:00:00Z	5 September 4, 2018	Dr Cai is a a good provider and tries to assist with all my health issues
2018-08-25T00:00:00Z	5 August 24, 2018	Dr Cai went out of his way to meet with me and to provide tests and answer my concerns. He listens carefully and carefully considers and communicates the options. Both my husband and I appreciate him greatly.
2018-08-21T00:00:00Z	5 August 20, 2018	excellent
2018-08-19T00:00:00Z	5 August 18, 2018	good experience
2018-08-14T00:00:00Z	3.75 August 13, 2018	good. no complaints
2018-08-01T00:00:00Z	5 July 31, 2018	Genuine care and concern from Dr. Cai was appreciated and made me feel like a person, not just another data point or patient.
2018-07-29T00:00:00Z	5 July 28, 2018	I like Dr. Cai. He's responsive and respectful.
2018-07-27T00:00:00Z	5 July 26, 2018	I am a very complicated patient, am disabled with at least 5 conditions that gnaw at me daily - this makes me anxious and depressed. Dr. Cai is sensitive to all of the [issues] I have going on in my body, listens intently, takes notes AND CARES! We work TOGETHER to keep me moving and together - I would probably be chair or home bound if not for him. I work hard to beat down the issues I have and man, does it help to know I have Dr. Cai standing right next to me! I will gladly talk you to death about this staff, and particularly Dr. Cai. He genuinely cares about his patients, and is sincere, professional and pleasant...a treasure when you have to visit regularly.
2018-07-25T00:00:00Z	4.58 July 24, 2018	This was my first visit with Dr. Cai, as my previous physician, Dr. Tai retired, so he could not be expected to have much knowledge about my health history. [...]
2018-07-20T00:00:00Z	5 July 19, 2018	Dr. Cai is a great doctor. He told me what to do with my back and we were happy about my pregnancy.
2018-07-20T00:00:00Z	5 July 19, 2018	My primary care Dr. retired, my visit to Dr.Cai was to meet him and established a patient/Dr relationship, I did like him, he took time to listen, understand my health history.
2018-07-12T00:00:00Z	5 July 11, 2018	Had a positive experience, thank you!
2018-07-09T00:00:00Z	5 July 8, 2018	Dr. Cai is an excellent physician. I am seriously contemplating switching to him as my Dr.
2018-07-04T00:00:00Z	5 July 3, 2018	Dr. Cai demonstrates the perfect blend of skill, professional/personable attitude, compassion, empathy, attentiveness and responsiveness. He makes me feel heard and understood.
2018-07-01T00:00:00Z	4.17 June 30, 2018	My problem was dealt with asap
2018-06-30T00:00:00Z	5 June 29, 2018	It was positive and informative.
2018-06-29T00:00:00Z	5 June 28, 2018	He was very helpful and gave me the result of the preliminary urinalysis quickly so we could start the meds.
2018-06-28T00:00:00Z	5 June 27, 2018	Dr Cai is an excellent physician and has agreed to become my primary care doctor. His empathy and ability to communicate are outstanding.
2018-06-22T00:00:00Z	4.58 June 21, 2018	The doctor was nice, I would see him again if my regular doctor wasn't available.
2018-06-20T00:00:00Z	4.17 June 19, 2018	Dr. Cai was very attentive to my injuries (toes & wrist). After discussing likely outcomes he ordered x-rays and promised, several times, to call me with the results later that day. With no calls from him that day OR the next day, Friday (apparently his day off), I called and talked to a nurse who gave me the basic "no current breaks seen." The following Monday I received a call from someone else with a little more info ("bruised bone, take Motrin and wait"). I never heard from Dr. Cai again. This annoys me because of his eager promises to call me.
2018-06-19T00:00:00Z	4 June 18, 2018	The provider was awesome. super nice and quick.
2018-06-12T00:00:00Z	5 June 11, 2018	Dr. Cai is sensitive and caring. He provided me with a list of treatments that I could use for dermatitis. He printed out a copy of lotions and skin care routine.
2018-06-07T00:00:00Z	5 June 6, 2018	I had an excellent experience during this visit.
2018-06-07T00:00:00Z	4.5 June 6, 2018	it was fine
2018-06-06T00:00:00Z	4.58 June 5, 2018	I saw this Dr. once as a follow up to a visit with my usual provider, so I was familiar with him. A resident saw me first and did the exam, which seemed thorough. When I finally saw him, he was up to date on what had just happened, and seemed to take the time to listen and answer my questions.
2018-06-05T00:00:00Z	5 June 4, 2018	Excellent provider
2018-05-25T00:00:00Z	4.17 May 24, 2018	He was fine although he only listened to my chest. He didn't check my ears or throat. I also had just had an infected tooth extracted two days earlier so it might have been good if he had taken a look at it just to be sure it looked okay. I didn't really think about this until after the appointment because I was not feeling well. He did provide me with prescription medication that was helpful. I do not want my feedback to affect my future care in your practice.
2018-05-24T00:00:00Z	5 May 23, 2018	he was prompt and listened. he focused in on a couple options for me and didn't push to have them all done at once. he said we could try one thing then try the next thing.
2018-05-21T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 20, 2018	He was nice & helpful.
2018-05-17T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 16, 2018	I usually see Dr. Winston, but he was not available this day.
2018-05-12T00:00:00Z	5 May 11, 2018	Dr Cai is not my regular Dr, but he know all my history, and was incredibly helpful with the problems I came in with.
2018-05-10T00:00:00Z	5 May 9, 2018	This was the second time seeing this provider for an acute problem . He is always very respectful and listens to your concerns.
2018-05-08T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 7, 2018	I was surprised that the doctor called me back himself and took my info/vitals instead of an MA or nurse. He said the office was busy and I liked that he didn't delay my visit to wait on other staff. I know some patients are hesitant to see newer doctors but he was very nice and personable and I would recommend him.
2018-05-04T00:00:00Z	5 May 3, 2018	My first visit with Dr. Cai. I had just changed to him for my primary care doctor and I am so glad I did.
2018-05-03T00:00:00Z	5 May 2, 2018	I have seen Dr. Cai before for a similar experience, he remembered me and used my medical record to help with this visit. My appointment time was 9:20 am. I was back in my car at 9:28. Obviously I arrived early, I was seen early, and I was on my way to get my antibiotics in no time at all. Exceptional!
2018-05-02T00:00:00Z	5 May 1, 2018	Dr. Cai seems like one of the guys and is a very talented doctor.
2018-04-30T00:00:00Z	5 April 29, 2018	Dr. Cai is great. I feel confident that he is taking care of me since Dr. Durfee has retired.
2018-04-29T00:00:00Z	5 April 28, 2018	Dr. Cai is wonderful.
2018-04-29T00:00:00Z	5 April 28, 2018	excellent
2018-04-23T00:00:00Z	5 April 22, 2018	Dr. Cai is great for a young doctor, he showed compassion and true interests in my ailments while working to make sure that i received the best treatment needed at the time.
2018-04-22T00:00:00Z	5 April 21, 2018	After being a patient of Dr. Durfee's, I was transferred to Dr. Cai due to her retirement. This was my first visit with Dr. Cai, and I was very pleased with the experience and feel very comfortable moving forward under Dr. Cai's care.
2018-04-20T00:00:00Z	5 April 19, 2018	Dr. Cai is very thoughtful, thorough and intuitive. he is a kind soul and I feel blessed to have him as my doctor
2018-04-19T00:00:00Z	5 April 18, 2018	This was my first visit with Dr. Cai, as Dr. Durfee is retiring. I REALLY liked Dr. Durfee and was skeptical anyone would be able to fill her shoes, but Dr. Cai made me feel heard and at ease instantly. I really like him as my new PCP and feel fortunate to have been transferred to his case load.
2018-04-19T00:00:00Z	5 April 18, 2018	My PCP is Dr. Simpkins, however, she called in sick the day my annual PE was scheduled. I am very grateful to Dr. Cai for fitting me into his clinic at the very last minute as I had already cancelled my clinic to schedule this appointment. As a physician, I know how annoying it can be to have to cover and greatly appreciate his willingness to do so with a great attitude. Thank you Dr. Cai for all your help!:)
2018-04-18T00:00:00Z	5 April 17, 2018	Dr. Cai is focused on patient well being. Great to have him as my PCP.
2018-04-17T00:00:00Z	5 April 16, 2018	Dr. Cai is always caring and concerned for your well-being listens well knows your history and helps when you are sick in any way he can. he is an excellent doctor and when my primary care physician is not available I am always glad to see him!
2018-04-14T00:00:00Z	5 April 13, 2018	excellent
2018-04-11T00:00:00Z	5 April 10, 2018	Dr. Cai and his staff were great to work with. As always, they were professional while maintaining an empathetic approach to communication with me. I hope they know what a great job they are doing in their respective fields, and what a huge difference it makes in the life of the patient to belong to such a fantastic primary care office.
2018-03-29T00:00:00Z	5 March 28, 2018	First time with Dr. Cai (my former Dr., Art Tai retired) and I am totally satisfied. Thank you Dr. Cai.
2018-03-21T00:00:00Z	4.58 March 20, 2018	I only wanted to see my PCP, but couldn't schedule that quickly enough, and I was very pleased with Dr. Cai.
2018-02-28T00:00:00Z	5 February 27, 2018	Very professional and understanding
2018-02-26T00:00:00Z	0.5 February 25, 2018	The doctor [...] spoke to me as if he was confused about why I was coming in and what needed to happen. He didn't ask me if I had pain. He told me to buy some anti inflammatory drugs and chew them like candy. He never examined my ankle to see the damage or swelling. He just told me to go to X ray once I am done and I will have to go pick up my own walking boot. I would have been better served by just going to the Emergency room than this visit.
2018-02-24T00:00:00Z	5 February 23, 2018	Each time I go to IHA, I feel like the providers actually care about my health.
2018-02-21T00:00:00Z	5 February 20, 2018	Dr. Cai. listened and helped to solve the problem right away.
2018-02-15T00:00:00Z	5 February 14, 2018	This doctor was very well documented to recommend the best action to take to save my father's life. Thank you for having such a good doctor in your staff.

2018-02-04T00:00:00Z	5 February 3, 2018	This was my first visit with Dr. Cai after Dr. Tai's retirement. I am very impressed with Dr. Cai and pleased that he will be my regular physician now.
2018-01-25T00:00:00Z	5 January 24, 2018	Second time I have been with Doctor Cai and really like him. Very personable and can communicate in laymen terms.

2018-01-24T00:00:00Z	4.58 January 23, 2018	I felt comfortable with Dr. Cai; he was respectful, not stuffy, open and easy to relate to.
2018-01-24T00:00:00Z	5 January 23, 2018	I don't always get a doctor I like if I don't see Dr. Moore. I really like Dr. Cai a lot. I've seen him twice now. He's great.
2018-01-19T00:00:00Z	5 January 18, 2018	Dr. Cai is the BEST!! Great doc, terrific bedside manner. Your practice and the patients you serve are both very lucky to have him!

2018-01-09T00:00:00Z	5 January 8, 2018	It was a professional, efficient visit. I felt well taken care of.
2018-01-06T00:00:00Z	4.17 January 5, 2018	my nurse [...] was awesome. She was efficient yet also patient with me. she also did a great job explaining the patient portal.
2017-12-17T00:00:00Z	4.17 December 16, 2017	The physician was good and helpful, but during this visit I was particularly impressed with the office staff- from the person who first greeted me at the desk, to the one who checked me out, they were personable and kind and friendly and engaging. Thanks!

2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	4.17 December 14, 2017	I'd like to see the providers be more mindful of washing their hands.
