No after care was given. Some staff was very nice but the person who did my vitals was a bit unprofessional.

The check in too way to long. The doctors assistant brought multiple ppl into a crowded space for a weight check, this violates certain privacy laws.

I don't have an actual review of the doctor because when I arrived to the appointment I was told my insurance was not accepted so I left from my appointment.

The overall experience was average. I do feel the front desk was short staffed. This caused a line of patients waiting to check in.
