Every time that I have an appointment there, the office is very crowded. But the effectiveness of Dr Pou and the agility of service make the waiting time shorter than expected.

Quick follow up visit but straight to the point he explained my lab results and with that scheduled an endoscopy right away hopefully everything goes well. So far No complaints very professional doctor and even though he seems busy he does listen and asks questions.
September 28, 2016Melissa N.Verified patient
Absolutely awful. I had an appointment time and had to wait 2.5 hours and he only spent 10 mins on my consultation. It was extremely rushed and I advise everyone to find another doctor
September 29, 2016Angie H.Verified patient
Very quick visit, dreary waiting area no tv could be updated the office, first visit so I'll need to see if he is the doctor for me since I have alt of stomach issues didn't really get to go into depth because he had like 50 patients waiting their turn ... Let's see

February 24, 2016Michelle T.Verified patient
I think the visit was super quick despite the almost 2 hr wait. We were all given appointment times but it was all on a first come first serve basis. The appointment went by so quickly that I forgot to mention some things that have been troubling me but i got my endoscopy, which is much more important.

He was running late however he didn't rush me out of the room to get to the next patient. He is a great listener and tries to get to the bottom of the issue and not just treat the symptoms.
January 28, 2016Initials hidden
He was great, fast and to the point. He performed an endoscopy on me, and the experience was great. The only issue I encountered once was for the follow up appointment. They sent me a late message stating the doctor had to leave early, and by the time I got to the office, no one was around. But the doctor did call me to follow up the next day, after I left an angry message.
Aside from that time, my experience with Dr. Pou has been great!
January 13, 2016Laura B.Verified patient
I would never come back to this place again. The whole place feels dirty and unsanitary.I had to wait for over an hour and the Dr. only took 3 minutes to talk with me.

The office open at 10 but the Dr comes in at 12!my appointment was at 12 but when I came in there were already 11 people ahead of me. After more than one of waiting I get to see the Dr but I barely have time to ask questions because he has a long line waiting outside. My visit was a waist of time. U want to see him make sure u come at 10 to sign your name and wait until he shows up at 12. Definitely not worth the time.

Dr. Pou should take a certain amount of patients per day because when the doctor has alot of patients, the doctor can't dedicate time for the patient to ask questions for any concerns that client might have. I felt I didn't get that opportunity because everything happened in such blur.

The wait was rediculous. He has over twenty chairs in his waiting room and they were filled for the two hours I waited. Every person waited for this long.

Besides waiting for an hour for the doctor to arrive, he took his time yet he didn't take all my time. Straight to the point and then I was out, good visit overall.

The office is like a factory. They overbook and then you usually wait 60mins to see the doctor even if you have an appt and he spends 5-7mins with you if your lucky
