May 16, 2025Lashonda T.Verified patient
Dr. Fillar and her Team are exceptional in courtesy, competency, and communication. I am especially grateful that Staff was able to squeeze me in given that the appointment I made over a month ago was never communicated by Zocdoc to their staff. I had traveled over an hour to meet with Dr. Fillar and sincerely appreciated her honoring the appointment I made through Zocdoc, in spite its not being on their working calendar. Their professionalism and collaboration as a team keeps me coming back. All future appointments will be made directly to their office staff and not through Zocdoc.
