Dr. Hands in Lindale Texas Near Tyler

July 28th, 2011

When you are raising children and paying for school, money gets tight, and you forget about the importance of saving money for doctor’s appointments. But tucked away in Lindale are the offices of Wendell and Donna Hand.

Call Dr. Hand at 903-882-3194

When you walk into the doctor’s office you will only be greeted by an over crowded waiting room decorated by a few faded posters on the wall and outdated magazines. Being a walk-in doctor’s office, it is “first come first served.” So you might be waiting in the two small rooms for quite awhile, depending on which doctor you are there to see. At times the small waiting rooms can feel extremely crowded and uncomfortable.

After you sit there for a quite awhile your name is called and if you didn’t have a headache before you probably do now. As a side note I would like to say to all the people out there, that if someone is sitting in the doctor’s office waiting area they probably are not feeling well, please do not talk so loud that people can hear you from outside, or play extremely annoying hard core rock music out of your headphones, so loud that everyone around you feels like they are going deaf.

A lady will lead you into the back with a smile on her face. You never have been so happy to see a doctor to get out of the chaos of the waiting room. When you walk to the back room, they weigh you in and sit you in the doctor’s office.

After you answer a few questions to the doctor’s assistant you are left in the back office to wait some more. When the doctor comes in you are welcomed with a personal friendship. I usually see Dr. Wendell Hand, he always seems to remember me and my family. Its great to have the comfort of a friendly greeting.

Dr. Hand always is there to help you feel better but he will offer the cheapest way to become healthy. Both doctors understand that a lot of their patients are not wealthy so they serve their patients as a mission to reach out to the community and less fortunate.

Although you may need to sit and wait some what annoyed for a while, if you need to go to a doctor, but can not afford the $100 dollars up front plus the insane amount of hidden fees, than you should go to the offices of Dr. Hand. They treat you with respect and will help you live the most healthy lifestyle.

Chuck E Cheese Birthday

January 31st, 2011

Chuck E Cheese Tyler TexasA room of a dozen three year old children is stressful in the first place but when you put a dozen three year old children in an extremely loud and crowded restaurant and throw a giant mouse, bad pizza, and a few video games in the middle of the chaos, you get a Chuck E. Cheese birthday. I do not know what I was thinking when I had my little girl’s birthday there. I was not sure where I was going to do the party until due to Tyler unreliable January weather. When we decided to have the party indoors we called the restaurant and tried to get the package deal and reserve a table for the party. They said that they can not allow us to reserve a table so close to the party time, but they said to just come in and try to find an open table. We tried to come into the restaurant after the lunch rush but it was still really crowded. I wanted Chuck E. Cheese to come out and sing to my little girl for her birthday but they said that he will not come out and sing happy birthday unless we bought a cake. I did not want to pay a lot of money for a cake with bad icing piled on top of the cake. I thought it was pretty ridiculous that they would not go sing to a toddler.

I really recommend not having a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese if you can not reserve the package deals. If you do reserve the package deals, be prepared to have an extremely loud party that you can not hear yourself think no less have any conversation with any of your guests. The waiter and waitresses come out and sing to about six or seven kids at the same time. You might end up sharing a table with another kid’s birthday party. The chaos is too much to handle. After your kids have danced with Chuck E. Cheese and ran around the table a few times, you can let them loose through the restaurant and allow them play video games to their heart content. The video game area can be so crowded, when I bring my children there I feel like I am watching them like a hawk. The rule of Chuck E. Cheese is that you are suppose to get your hand stamped when you walk through the door, the stamp on your hand is suppose to match the stamp on the hand of all the children that came with you. Last time I went there I walked in and they did not stamp my hand and my daughter did. When I walked out they asked to see my hand and I just said that I did not get my hand stamped and he just let us out. I was glad that I was able to leave with my child but I was thinking in the bad of my mind if they would of checked stamps if my kids were walking out with someone else.

It is true that children love this restaurant. It is like a gambling hall for kids. They spend the twenty five cent token to win three tickets that are worth a penny each. At the end of the day parents spend fifty dollars on tokens so that their kids can bring home a two dollar toy. Kids do not see the fact that they are getting ripped off. They have fun playing the games and running away from their overwhelmed parents. I really do not like Chuck E. Cheese and will never again throw a birthday party there. It was days before I got rid of the pounding headache. It s fine to eat there during the week and allow your children to get their energy out, and have a fun day; but going during the busy weekends it is not really worth it.
