“The doctor was good and he was kind, but the entire staff speaks in Spanish and all the reminder text messages come in Spanish even when I said I do not speak the language. There was no change even when asked to update text preferences. I was told it is automated and they had no control over the language preferences. One of the nurses also explained things in Spanish and when I said I do not understand, her response to me was "okay, I understand " and then nothing was clarified by her. ”

I waited an hour and twenty mintues to finally see the doctor. He was in such a rush, that I hope we’re identifying the problem properly. I pointed to the area that I have pain, but I’m not sure if it was taken seriously.
Verified patient
It felt a bit rushed and that he was cutting me off while I was explaining the situation. I got a prescription that I really don't feel I need or understand why I should take it.

When i got to the office i was greated by front desk they were polite. I waited about an hour its understandable the place was busy. It means the doctor takes time to assess there patient.
