February 25, 2025Doretta V.Verified patientVideo visit
doctor's office called 45 prior to appointment time and asked to reschedule my appointment. I was told that they weren't sure when he doctor would be available but MAYBE 4:00PM (3 hours after my original appointment time) and I would be called back with confirmation. Received a call around 2 PM asking about my intake forms for an appointment that I never got confirmation about. Now I'm being told that I'm being charged for an appointment that I never had because zocdoc is charging the provider for the appointment since it was booked through zocdoc and not cancelled or rescheduled by the provided.

The office finally contacted me about my app and I was seen by this psychiatrist. It was a lovely visit and i'm looking forward to my continuity of care with her.
June 24, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
I booked a same day app with her, and called the phone number on her profile multiple times and her phone number doesn't work. She never showed, and I still haven't heard from the office. The main part that frustrated me is that there is no working contact information on her profile. I wouldn't recommend.
