The doctor's chamber was closed.
July 13, 2024Soumil D.Verified patient
Did not see the provider I booked, so this review is not a negative review for him; I was called to see if I could move up my appointment immediately after booking it; filling out the forms took way too long, each time I would choose SELF, I would have to fill in name, address, etc. each time. They called me back before I was even halfway done with filling in the forms. The charge was twice what a different dentist office charged me.
June 18, 2024Scott S.Verified patient
I showed up for my appointment at 11:30 am but the office was closed. No one was there. I did not receive any message that my appointment has to be rescheduled.
I have scheduled the appointment in zocdoc just the night before, and I received a confirmation email.
I wouldn’t recommend this clinic to anyone.

I mean the clinic is great, they are extremely efficient. They respect the time and date you have booked. The only issue is that you get to be checked up by whoever is in, so every visit is someone different. And the actual Dr. Spends no more than 1-5min with you if any.
