Highly recommended.
April 26, 2026Maria Leah G.Verified patient
I waited over an hour to see the doctor, he sent me to have a hearing test and then I had to wait more time in his office. I gave up after waiting for 15 more minutes and left before I was diagnosed with anything. 0/10, would not recommend. It’s ridiculous to have to wait around for so long - if you can’t keep to your schedule, what’s the point of having appointments? I don’t have endless hours in my day to waste sitting around.
