“I honestly can’t say enough good things about my doctor and their amazing team. They have gone above and beyond for me on every occasion whether it’s squeezing me in for last-minute appointments or making the whole process incredibly smooth and stress free. My doctor is not only compassionate but also incredibly knowledgeable. Every appointment leaves me feeling more informed and empowered. I learn something new every time, and that knowledge has helped guide me toward a much healthier and happier life. If it weren’t for this incredible team, I truly don’t know where I’d be today. They’ve been a life changing support system, and I’m so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication they show every single time. I just want the world to know how amazing they are they’ve genuinely changed my life for the better. Thank you! ”

Booking appointment was easy, but trying to figure out how to get on the video call was confusing. The office sent me a link to a n unfamiliar video app, and after i was in, I could not find my appt or doctor. Then after calling the office, they told me my copay was very high!!?? Why didn’t they contact me before this! So I had to reschedule to avoid a very high cancelation fee!!! Not cool! I will cancel my future appt in time because I don’t like how Zocdoc works at all!!
