The clinical staff has been rather excellent to my opinion, but customer service, scheduling, and response times have gone downhill. After waiting to hear back from staff for a week on a minor prescription refill without so much as a callback, I’m not sure about recommending the practice for regular patient care.
Easy to get an appointment and if you dont care who sees you, you can get a same day appointment. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Only issue is this is a teaching PCP office. Meaning, people are going their residency here. So, if you get a new resident, they would be your PCP for about 3-4 years, then you will have to start over with a new PCP at this office. If they are a 3rd year resident when you are assigned to them, you will have to get someone new in a year. I have chronic health issues, so I was allowed to get an attending, who is a fellow and isnt a resident. Hope that makes sense.
Its a great PCP otherwise and you can get bloodwork done here or right...read full review
