I was highly disappointed with my experience after waiting a month and a half for this appointment. My specific request was to see a Black male physician, and I drove about 20 minutes to this provider expecting that request to be honored. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was told that the provider I waited all that time to see does not work on Mondays. That was extremely frustrating and felt like a major lack of communication and organization.
The office itself also did not make a good impression. The location was not what I expected, and the inside of the office felt very old, dark, and uninviting. They did offer to reschedule me and complete my blood work, but at that point, I felt like it would have been a waste of time since I would still have to return multiple times to actually see the provider I originally requested.
Overall, between the appearance of the office, the scheduling issue, and the inconvenience, I would not recommend this place.
