Very good!
Verified patient
Arrived to the office, and they weren't even aware of my appointment. Scheduled one on the spot because I was there already. Had to wait close to an hour, before they brought me into a room to see a different doctor that I didn't even book. The doctor was very short with me, performed a quick test for sciatica, then said go get tests and bring them back to me, bye. Poor bedside manner and it seems like he was very eager to get me to leave. Would never go here again, I have already switched doctors and my new doctor is a million times better.
I went in pain and they didn't give me anything to calm me down because there was no room for therapy. I came back with the same pain, hoping tomorrow they'll see me faster, they say that because the first time takes a long time

Don’t waste your time
Verified patient
The staff and Dr are posit ive-motive for my visit and I had nice care. The staff and dr has real good qualities to take care the patient with respect , it hard to see in other hospital. I will recommend your clinics to others as much as possible everyone deserve a compassionate care. Thanks
Verified patient
Very helpful staff and doctors, very caring.
Verified patient
There were regular patients who clearly had a much stronger rapport with office staff, so I imagine the office isn't that bad really. But my own personal experience was not good. In person, the front desk person was very personable and helpful. While being seen by the doctor, I had to force him to listen to why I was there to begin with, and not just be asked a few questions and determine the problem and solution. Whoever I spoke with over the phone after my visit was much ruder than whoever I spoke with in person at the office. I do not plan on returning if I don't have to.
Verified patient
Spent the entire day here. No one knows what’s going on no one goes by appointment and you see a million doctors not the doctor you booked for. Definitely do not recommend this doctor by any means necessary.
Verified patient
I was a new patient at this doctor's office, my appointment was at 10:30 I understand you have to wait at these doctors appointments I filled out my paperwork the staff there they do not communicate with you like they should and you're just sitting around waiting and waitng, I was there an hour and a half waiting when I finally went to get all of my paperwork I filled out because I was leaving the only response I got was sorry about that I will never go back there
Verified patient
Short wait was amazing
Verified patient
I made an appointment with Dr. Uh but waited about two hours before being seen by a specialist assistant - so not a licensed US doctor.
Terrible. Not going back. It took two hours before they gave me paperwork to fill out and saw the Dr 20 mins after that . Then he said I needed a exray but there are 7 people infront of me so it might takeanother hour and a half
Verified patient
Absolutely Horrible. He rushed me through my appointment . He didn’t Listen to what I told him . His physical was a joke . Do not waist your money .
Verified patient
Horrible didn’t follow no covid rules dirty rude nasty don’t change gloves don’t take temperature don’t social distance don’t go here
Verified patient
Very bad experience
Verified patient
All together it didn’t help that I was pressed for time. I feel like the turn around should have been quicker though I did arrive an hour before my appointment.
Verified patient
Horrible waiting area. Packed to capacity when we are in the middle of a pandemic. Front desk women gossip and are very loud + unprofessional.
Verified patient
Worst level of service known to mankind. Staff is very rude, and aggressive. Went there to see Dr. Uh and was seeing by another doctor which was fine...1/week later and they have yet to forward my script over to the radiology in order to get the authorization for my MRI. I called and gave them the info, along with the fax number. Called back to confirm that they sent it over only to be given the run around by a very rude worker. “Her exact words, I did not work last week Wednesday so I don’t know who you spoke to” like really?? I had to ask her if there’s not a file of mine there that she can view to get all the info that she’s asking me. Stated that she didn’t know if the script was sent over so here I am with still with a swollen knee, no MRI, no X-ray, and no treatment as no one can tell me if the script was sent over to the radiology. I was annoyed, and upset as I’ve been in pain. The young lady seem as if she was irritated by me asking her questions and expressing how unprofessional they were. Now in the process of finding another doctor as this one is definitely not going to work for me....they need to do better.

I saw Dr. Guilloule. I have always waited when I have seen an orthopedist. This is no different. Make sure you have nothing to do for several hours. The staff is nice. The doctor gave me a quick diagnosis and ordered some exams. It took less than 10 minutes. I got what I really needed which was a PT script. But if anyone finds an orthopedist who consistently honors the time appointment let me know. I have yet to find one.
Verified patient
Good, not a lot of people so it felt safe (covid). Staff was all wearing mask. Office was clean. Doctor listened to me and answered my questions/concerns
Verified patient
It takes forever to see the doctor and it was a nightmare. I waited 6 hours to see the doctor and I felt like I work 8 hours of work. This is the last time I will come to this dot

Disappointing!!!
This rating is for Dr. Louis Guillame
Verified patient
I arrived 15 minutes early and signed in. After 20 minutes they hadn't even noticed my name on the list. I was finally seen An hour and 5 minutes after my appointment time.
Bizarre.
Verified patient
I did not enjoy my visit at all. When I got to the office, I went to the front desk to check in for my appointment, and it turns out that despite my previous doctors sending them all my medical records and necessary information, they were not able to receive it, as something was most likely wrong with their system. All in all, the people at the front desk were very unprofessional. Moreover, my wait time was very long, and I was met by doctors who seemed like they couldn’t care less about the physical pain and suffering that I was in. I did not receive any good treatment coming out of this appointment, and they asked me to wait another 3 days to administer my shot because they were not available at the time. I am very displeased with my experience with this clinic.
Verified patient
The whole staff was,awesome, supportive and professional, even the young lady who worked for a different doctor but directed me to the right floor when she noticed I was lost ,I recommend this office to anyone
Verified patient
It was a good visit. The dr’s were very informative and patient. The receptionists were kind and helpful. Overall it was great.
Verified patient
Well it was ok however the wait was extreme
Waited for this doctor for 2hours and 40mins and still couldnt meet him. The people working there should know that the patients don't have their entire day off and dedicated to wait for a doctor for more then 2 hours. Especially with those who are in a condition in which they can't wait. Staff wasn't helpful at all.
Verified patient
I can tell everyone about the service. this is the worst service and waiting in my whole life. Doctors are good but Service is worst like garbage. the don't time, no schedule nothing. please don't recommend this doctor at all !! You can make an appointment but they are not going to follow that at all :( poor service.
Verified patient
Came in for tingling sensation in arms, Brought my medical records and my patience. What could've been a simple same-day/week neurological test was dragged out for a month. And the wait for every appt was 1hr+ The doctor rushed through all my appointments in 5-10min, no explanation, no inquiries, nothing. He did not give me a chance to be precise either. Instead he set up multiple appts for tests that I already did with another doctor only to tell me the same thing they did, what a waste of time!
Verified patient
It was a very long wait. I waited over 2 hours. I needed to know what my mri said. Once I spoke to him, everything was fine. I wish I didn't have to wait that long for a quality consultation.
Verified patient
Dr. Uh was very direct and honest about my situation. However, the building he is in has many other doctors and only a handful of nurses. This creates a seemingly everlasting lag between check-in and meeting with the doctor. He is worth it though. If you want a doc that won't beat around the bush, he's your guy.
Verified patient
Left work early, took my son out of school early so that we can make his 1:15 appointment. Waited two and a half hours to see the doctor. Ridiculous! Never again. Doctor was great but the long wait wasn't.
