Patient Reviews
I waited over two hours... Enough said
I waited for almost 2 hours for Dr. Halstead. This was very frustrating indeed. Though she seemed a bit rushed once I met her, she was pleasant enough asking questions in a personable manner.
I chose Dr. Halstead even though she didn't have great reviews because I needed an RX right away and she was the only one with appointments the next day. The reason she had appointments open was because it appears that she schedules appointments at least five at a time. I walked in for my 11:00 appointment and, no exaggeration, there were 20 people in the waiting room. It was one hour and forty minutes before I was seen. Once inside, Dr. Halstead was polite but seemed so incredibly rushed and somewhat uncaring that I didn't feel comfortable asking questions. One other thing - they really don't take a medical history. They ask a couple period and bladder-related questions but that's it. I was there to get my girly parts looked at, and they didn't even ask me how many sexual partners I've had, whether I've had STI testing, or anything. That was a little unsettling. Would not recommend.
