What is your typical process for working with clients?
When you first come in for an appointment, we'll start by taking the time to discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments you’ve tried.

Less than 3 months agoKathleen B.Verified patientVideo visit
The most terribly organized people I have ever interacted with. They kept calling me and rescheduling my appointment and then not scheduling the new appointment. Wasted my time 3 times for 3 different appointments and had nothing prepared or together. It took a lengthy discussion with them before they even took accountability and apologized and I never even got to meet with the provider. Would not schedule. BIG waste of time.

Great receptionist and a great doctor! :D
November 12, 2025Shane M.Verified patientVideo visit
I booked with a provider in the morning and paid my copay. I received a phone call about 2 hours before my scheduled appointment and was asked to reschedule for an hour later due to the provider being backed up. I said that was fine and proceeded to do all of my pre appointment paperwork. I logged into the provided link about 10 minutes prior to my appointment time and proceeded to wait for an hour. Finally after the provider never logged in I called the # provided. I was told they will check with the provider to see what happened, I was told there must have been a mix up or misunderstanding with the appointment on the providers end. Understood mistakes happen, now when I asked if the Dr. was available to log in I was told no I would have to reschedule for the next day and that they would refund my copay but that it would take up to 3 business days and that I would need to pay another copay for the appointment the next day. Completely unacceptable.
