I thought the care I received was great, and the staff were all rather friendly. They need to improve on the long wait times though, as nearly two hours passed before I was seen by a nurse before I saw the physician. While the care was good, it was rather rushed (I spent less than 10 minutes with the physician and nurse combined). An important part of any practice is to take a thorough history and get to know your patient. This makes all the difference from a patient's perspective.

The doctor and staff were nice and welcoming. The wait was a bit long which seemed to be due to doctors running behind on procedures done downstatirs. The overall experience was good.

Dr. Beraja is the best. He was able to identify my problem and found a solution,
I arrived at 1:40pm for my 2:00 appointment, I was not called till 3:10.
Verified patient
The staff was really not bilingual and not forthcoming on procedures and they had a training person to administer tests who really didn’t speak English to give proper instructions.

Intake process as well as internal processes lack. Customer service is lacking. Complaint, got the RX Incorrect. To get it corrected has been an exercise in patience and restraint. Regretting my decision to be seen at this location. The only positive was the attending physician.

They never call me to confirm the appointment. Last appointment almost need spent the whole afternoon at the place. When you are at the location everybody are so nice, but after you left and call with any questions or concerns; they ignore you. Always avoid answer questions. The Dr never call you back or any member of the staff. I am not happy are all how the handle relationship with pacient.
