Tamar, PA, is really good and she knows what she’s doing. However, the receptionist is so difficult to deal with. I submitted paperwork to be filled out for my job and now its been 4 days and still didn’t get it. I’ve tried to get in touch with the PA regarding my skin problem and follow up, but I never got a call back. So at this point I think I should find care somewhere else. So disappointing.

Great experience! I would recommend
May 13, 2025Kwarana C.Verified patient
It’s located at the mall, so I didn’t know what to expect The PA, Tamar, was thorough and friendly. She was efficient, but made sure I understood everything and made sure there were no further questions. The other employee (nurse?) came in first to ask questions and was friendly and also was efficient. Great experience
