I felt that everyone that worked in the office was wonderful. Rosa was so sweet. She took me in right at my appointment time. I had to wait after that almost an hour to be seen by the doctor but I really liked him as well. I am glad I have chose him for my primary care physician.

Very long wait! Office was a bit on the dirty side and front desk women was munching on chips in front of all patients, something about that I don't like.

Charged for a procedure I did not have our need. Specifically an ekg. Waited in the waiting room for over 2 hours for an initial consult.
