My appointment went well. The male employee was very professional and efficient. The older female employee was very rude to me as well as a few other patients during my short wait. she has zero social skills and isnot welcoming at all. I over head other patients discussing how rude she is as well. I hope she doesn't bring the office down because the Dr and the Male employee are absolutely amazing
The wait time may not be as quick at every visit, but he is a very friendly and attentive doctor. Also, you are in and out of your appointment in less than five minutes!

He cut me off every time I said something, and he was watching tv while I was telling him my concerns.

It great
Verified patient
His receptionist was super rude. She did not even know I booked my appt. on ZocDoc. Why even be on the site if you cannot access it? When I finally went in to see him, he seemed confused of the correct procedures. He did not examine me; he only took my BP. I asked him to check my ears & he started scrambling around the office. He came back like five minutes later & told me that he did not have the tool to examine my ears. I got up & walked right out. Complete waste of time. Never again.

Worthless visit crappy medical assistants need to learn how to properly schedule and see patients, quite pathetic people get paid to do nothing...
Verified patient
My Appt. was 4:30, I arrived at 4:20 and was told by the receptionist at 5:40 that the Dr. won't be in until after 6!!! I waited until 7 to be seen. He talked very slow as if he were high or something. He didn't really address my issues. They found blood in my urine, WTH!!! He never actually checked me........He just said come back in 3 months!! .I'm not sure this guy is really a doctor.
Verified patient
Saw him on July 30 instead because I cancelled the July 28 appointment.Very good. Soft spoken,he made me feel at ease,explained the probable causes of my situation, explained my options, advised me and set the ball of physical examination rolling.
Verified patient
UPON ENTERING THE OFFICE, I HAD ONE PATIENT AHEAD OF ME. I SIGNED THE LOG AND INFORMED THE PERSON AT THE FRONT THAT I WAS A NEW PATIENT, HER IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS "YOU HAVE INSURANCE", AFTER ANSWERING SHE TOLD NOT ASKED THAT I HAVE A SEAT. I WATCHED PATIENTS ENTER, AFTER I DID,SEE THE DR AND LEFT. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR I WAS GIVEN FORMS TO COMPLETE AND MY COPAY COLLECTED. FINALLY IN TO SEE THE DR, HE SAT ON HIS STOOL AND ASKED A SERIES OF QUESTIONS, NEVER EXAMINED ME, TOLD ME TO RETURN THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR BLOOD WORK AND THAT WHEN THE RESULTS CAME IN ON FRIDAY I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE OFFICE. IT HAS BEEN DAYS AFTER AND NO CALL. SINCE THEY DID NOT CALL, I CALLED THEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RESULTS TAKE TIME AND THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOBS AND THEN HUNG UP ON ME, I CALLED BACK FOR THE NAME OF THE REP, ANOTHER ANSWERED AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME NEITHER THE PREVIOUS REP'S NAME NOR THEIR OWN. STILL AWAITING MY RESULTS.
No complaints at all! Will return.
