Great experience seeing Wendy. Very attentive. Listened to my concerns and took the time to give a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. We will see how the treatment goes, but the visit went well.
August 21, 2025Jordan P.Verified patient
They had me wait over an hour and even took a patient who walked in off the street before me! I had an app. I showed up early. Filled out my paperwork within 5 min. I was all squared away by the start of my appointment. And when I was finally seen, she was over the top with a (at best) rushed bedside manner to (at worse) fake caring.
