Im highly upseet I will never in my life go to this office again I got there at 7:20 scheduled a appt at 7:45 didn’t get back until 8:35 and didn’t get out of there until 10 and this was just a anunal check up never again will I attend this office
There was a long wait. Appointments don't mean anything. My appt was at 6:45, I arrived at 6:30 to do the paperwork, I wasn't seen by the nurse until 7:15, and the doctor didn't see me until 7:40.

Wonderful and so kind.
Verified patient
Thorough and friendly even though we were the last appointment of the night. He took the time to listen to my child’s concerns instead of just addressing me as the parent.
Verified patient
He seems very competent a little over worked.
I was nicely greeted at the front desk and Dr. Irons was very attentitive to my concerns and questions. I was nervous about switching to a new doctor, but very happy I chose Dr. Irons! Thank you guys!
Verified patient
Dr. Irons is actually awesome. He’s very well-informed. He explains everything well and walks you through everything that’s going on and breaks down details and instructions well. He is also gentle and polite. My first Pap smear was actually a delightful. I left his office wider and healthier. MyDrNow, as a franchise can have long wait times but it wasn’t anything excessive, and Dr. Irons is great.
Verified patient
He was very attentive and kind!
Verified patient
Front desk personnel was not kind and was unaware that I needed to schedule a follow up. Nurses did not relay all information to the doctor. Doctor appeared unsure of how to treat a cat bite that it was in the midst of healing.
Dr. Irons is a very conscientious physician taking sufficient time to obtain an accurate history, listen to your problem, provide a complete examination, and discuss options. His personality can be best describe as gentle and compassionate.
Verified patient
I would definitely recommend Dr Irons and the nursing staff at MYDRNOW. Though they do take most insurances, my daughter and I are uninsured, but their prices are more than reasonable. They even have their own monthly program you can get if you plan on seeing the Dr. regularly which cuts those already very reasonable costs down significantly! Also, I was able to get an appointment for my 6day old daughter the same day I called for her newborn wellness visit. I had been having a very difficult time finding a pediatrician for her that 1) accepted self pay, 2) could get her in right away, and 3) had experience and good reviews. At MYDRNOW I found that and more. They cover everything from wellness visits and physicals to illness and injury, and from newborns to seniors. The nurses were knowledgeable, caring, and attentive, and the Dr. was thorough and answered all 500+ questions from this new mom. And this was a 7:20 pm appointment. They didn't rush, or act in anyway like they were trying to get finished so they could go home. They have awesome hours, 8a-8p, and numerous locations throughout the valley. Whether you need a check up, a physical, or you are sick or injured I highly recommend calling Dr. Irons and the awesome staff of MYDRNOW. Thank you so much!

Found doctor through search results for anxiety. Doc asked a few general questions but didn't seem interested in reason for visit. Kept saying he wasn't a psychiatrist and only a family doctor over and over. Waste of time and money

Terrible wait time.
Waiting time is beyond unacceptable.
Verified patient
Long waiting time. Over an hour.
Verified patient
My apt. was at 6:15, I showed up early in the hopes that they would be able to see me sooner. I arrived at 4:50 and was called back and vitals were taken about 10 min after sitting in the lobby( which i didn't mind.) They MA called me back took my vitals and i sat in the room for over an hour and a half to be seen.... FOR REFILLS.
Verified patient
I make an appointment week ahead I sit for two hour Last month I did walk in In and out within 30 min We have more to do then sit around waiting for an appointment that I should been out wishing the hour I was about to walk out My patience are so minimum with the wait time I am looking elsewhere where
Verified patient
Normally my wait time to be seen at a scheduled apt. Is an hour or more. What I don't understand is that when I do go into the office I have to come later in the evening due to my work schedule. On my last visit with Terry Irons, my apt was at 6:20pm. I wasn't called back until 7:10pm and Dr. Irons didn't come into my room until 7:50pm. When I schedule my appointments I use the pt. portal . I explain what the reason for my visit is and if I need refills on medication so he and the medical staff is aware of why I am in the office. When I finally get called back I get asked the same question as to why I am here, so explain again what the reason for my visit is for. Then the MA. Takes me to my room and I wait about 45-50 min before my dr. Comes into the room to be asked the same questions and then he is completly clueless as to why I'm in the office. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day he was having but I was not satisfied with the care from him nor his staff. I am a certified medical assistant and it's just frustrating to know that this is how pts are being treated. Not to mention that I have two insurances and they always seems to be confusion as to which is my primary and secondary and now I am receiving bills and claims for this that were billed incorrectly. I will be looking for a new primary care dr.
