They never informed me through here that they wasn't in the office i made an appointment through here and there was nobody at the office waste of time.
Verified patient
Sadly, I wasted my time driving to the office for the front desk to tell me they do not accept my insurance, when ZocDoc clearly had a green check mark saying they did which is why I booked with them. Then the front desk said that ZocDoc had not updated their system…
