Verified patient
The nurse practitioner who saw me was not friendly, reassuring, or approachable. I felt as if I was bothering her by paying to be seen. The office was also extremely difficult to contact when it was time for my appointment. Which was frustrating when I could not contact them about my prescription because nobody ever picks up the dang telephone. One of the worst experiences, will not go back.
Great experience. Very knowledgeable. A+

Great bed side manner, very professional!
Verified patient
Waited over an hour and twenty minutes to see him, and when he finally came in I felt like the whole thing was so rushed... He barely looked at me, didn't ask me any questions, wrote some medications down and sent me along. I had to keep stopping him to ask questions and state my concerns. I left not really knowing how much of which medicines to take, and when to take them, since it was all verbal and nothing was written down. Overall pretty disappointed. Have another appointment next month.
The doctor was excellent and so was the staff! he knew very much what he was taking about and the staff was so kind and helpful as well.
