Patient Reviews
Jun 01, 2023
Last visit staff took me to wrong exam room and waited almost 1/2 hour before other doctor came in to tell me I was taken to wrong room. Waited 3 weeks for next appointment made over phone for an emergency, unable to use left hand. Showed up for appointment at only office I’d ever been to and told that that appointment had been scheduled at their other office. Unbelievable
