I've gone to this doctor twice. The first time was fine until I got a call an hour afterwards saying that the receptionist forgot to charge me. I asked her twice before leaving if she was sure and I tried to hand her my card. The second time was awful. I showed up early to fix the mistake. Paid double. I asked if the doctor could take me early or if I should come back. She said he could. She then stuck me in a room and I waited a full hour to be seen. Truly go anywhere else.
