Excellent service. Doctor took his time to inform me and listen to me. Highly recommend.
June 24, 2024Melisa D.Verified patient
This was both my first and last visit.
Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience with the reception staff. Upon check-in, my reservation could not be located, which resulted in a significant delay to my appointment. The front desk staff were rude and unapologetic about the situation.
After waiting approximately 90 minutes, I asked for an update on how much longer it would be before I could see Dr. Dhar. I was then told by the receptionist to go into a room and ask the doctor myself. As a first-time patient, I found this request highly unprofessional and inappropriate.
Once I did meet Dr. Dhar, he seemed very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, his lateness and the unprofessional conduct of the staff significantly detracted from the overall experience. I would not recommend.
