Took 15 minutes to open the door. Receptionist made me repeat my name so many times, I wrote it down. She threw an I pad at me and said to, “go over there”. It didn’t work and I returned it. She said, “I threw it at her”. She didn’t want a copy of my insurance card but wanted my ID. Very unprofessional and I walked out.
