Scheduling a simple telehealth appointment for my son took 25 minutes on the phone. That doesn’t include the several minutes spent navigating the automated system and promotional messages just to request a callback, or the wait for that callback.
The representative was kind and patient, and my frustration is with the system. Communication was difficult, and I had to concentrate hard to understand him.

Reviews
The service was excellent; I was treated very well from the moment I arrived. The administrative staff helped me with everything I needed. The nurses were true medical professionals—as was the doctor—and they explained everything clearly. It was excellent, compassionate care; their love for their profession and their calling is evident
I’ve been coming to this clinic for years without any issues, but today I called to find out when urgent care services start. They told me 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., even though I saw online that it starts at 1 p.m. Then, when I arrived at the clinic, I was told it starts at 2 p.m. I don't understand why the information is so inconsistent.
