February 8, 2024Austin C.Verified patient
Horrible experience! Front desk staff was friendly but dr grace was rude, short and didn’t seem like she cared. Gave me no solutions to my problem, told me nothing she can do. When I told her that was disappointing she told me well she didn’t know why I was coming in, I replied usually front desk asks what’s the reason for coming in and no one did to which she responded. Well that’s not my job. Waste of time and waste of a co-pay. Didn’t seem to care or seem apologetic.
