Set up and appointment and was confirmed by the office and was emailed that I’d be contacted prior to the appointment to get into the video appointment. Came time for the appointment and haven’t heard anything. I call the office twice with no answer. Second time this has happened on zodoc.

Celina is wonderful and makes every visit a safe space. She is caring and efficient. I always look forward to our visits. Thank you.
Dr Egemasi is always pleasant and efficient!
Most my issues resulted from using Zoc Doc. Which caused significant scheduling issues which resulted in me wasting my time at the wrong scheduled events and incorrect syncing between the emails and zoc doc and the provider. As for the provider, she seems polite, I unfortunately am on a timeline where I will be out of service for the next 5 weeks and was hoping to get a prescription refill which I have had done with different providers. This doctor I respect for requiring significantly more testing than any other provider. However she was not willing to accommodate my needs at all. However due to these requirements which I have never been asked or notified of before I was not able to get the prescription refill in a timeline that even closely reflected reality. Serious doctor would recommend to a friend, just would advise them to plan for several weeks before anything actually happens. IE prescription testing etc, this all takes time and insurance.
