Five stars all the way!
June 29, 2026Monica P.Verified patient
Those at the front desk seem really unhappy to be there- that day they were giving grumpy vibes. Hopefully they change the music that they play in the lobby, as listening to bad pop music would put anyone in a foul mood. Spa type, soothing music would be preferable. The wait time was more than the time actually spent with the doctor. Maybe it's because my appointment was later in the day but I definitely got the impression that those there, doctor included, were just eager to go home.
