September 30, 2024Nocholas R.Verified patient
This provider does not do virtual appointments and does not take my insurance, despite being advertised as such by this site. Furthermore, when I contacted the front office, the receptionist was very short and cut me off multiple times while I explained how I booked this appointment.
