The front office staff was very unprofessional and attempted to "rebuke" me for being only 20 minutes early instead of 30. I had a hard time finding the slight turn to the office and called 4 times in that 10 minutes trying to find the office. I was put on hold every single time and no one came back on line to help. The receptionist stated it was because they only have one person answering phones. My response was, "Maybe you shouldn't get snotty with new patients who are lost when your office was not beneficial in giving directions due to one person answering the phones." She was fine after that.

We had to arrive 30 minutes before our appointment time, but then didn't see the doctor unil one hour after our appointment time. I know doctor's offices get busy, but an hour and a half wait time is excessive. The doctor was nice enough and listened well. She recommended my son be re-evaluated for ADD which was slightly frustrting since he was already tested and diagnosed 4 years ago, however she did get the process started immediately. Overall it was an ok experience, I'd have to come to this office a few more times before I could say if I'd recommend it for sure.
