Where do we begin? The facility not clean. Everyone gets the same appointment time and are herded like cattle. The staff could care less. I waited 45 minutes and other people who came in after me were seen before me. When I went to the front desk, they look like I was bothering them and they could care less. They call out my name and ask for my birthdate in front of the whole waiting area.

I think people with positive experiences should start updating this office… read full review
This place is a walking HiPPA violation. The ladies in the reception area discuss and talk crap about the procedures patients are getting, while making fun of them. Very unprofessional. Informed me that there was a co pay, but I could not get my cost until after I met with a Doctor.
