I showed up for my appointment and the office was closed. I kept calling and could hear the phone ringing through the suite’s door. Disappointed, and will not be returning. This office was my PCP location and they’re open (according to their operator office hours) on Saturdays, yet for some reason they were closed when I arrived. Never had this problem before. I thought something was odd when no one called to confirm my appointment like usual. But having been many times before I disregarded it. I also thought maybe they’d gone on lunch but if that were the case why was i able to book for a 12pm appointment time. Ive had appointments in the past for 12pm as well with no issues. I waited for an hour as well and no one appeared after 1pm. The customer service rep wasnt helpful either. She didnt work at the Practice either and shooed me off the phone and said I should just wait for them to call me.
Verified patient
I never saw the doctor. My appointment was for 9am, the staff arrived at 10am & stated another doctor would be seeing patients and he wasn’t available until 12pm
Verified patient
It shows that the appointment was available to book. Than I booked it and it was confirmed. While me and my family travel so far to visit. The place was closed. No one contacted us to notify us.
Verified patient
Worst appointment told they don’t see new patients after 300 there no way I could have known that so I was told to reschedule so I’m done with this appointment I would never recommend them to anybody body bad patient service

Very nice, they were king and friendly and very welcoming, I had a great experience with them and actually look forward to continuing in their care

She s the best
Verified patient
It's 2023. Have a soap dispenser in the bathroom. I did not expect to see watered down soap in a barely empty bottle. The provider came off cold. Not very warm and friendly. Very serious and matter of fact but thorough I suppose.
Dr. Haughton was AMAZING.
Verified patient
My appointment was never confirmed
Verified patient
I liked the provider. However I am looking for one more closely integrated with a hospital center to which specialist appointments can be made. I don't know if this is the right place for me yet.
Verified patient
Beautiful experience
Verified patient
I waited for over 2hrs to be seen and was seen for less than 15mins by the provider, then had to wait a while again for blood work and tests to be done. Overall I was there for more than 3hrs for something that could have been finished in less than an hour. Do not recommend if you are not a patient person. Front desk manager was great though.
First to begin, this was the best annual physical I've ever had! Dr. Norma and Kritstina are the most courteous, professional, personable medical professionals I've ever met! Dr. Norma asked me all sorts of questions, was very thorough in her explanations, and showed genuine care for my health and safety! She listened to everything I had to say and had very honest opinions and recommendations. Dr. Norma is a family practitioner, so my next move is to book an appt for my husband! Thank you ladies for your care and expertise!

Dr. Norma Haughton, NP was great. She made sure I was aware of what she was asking me and answered all my questions thoroughly. Dr. Haughton was friendly and informative and I'm happy I choose her as my primary care doctor.

My visit was amazing with Dr. Norma Haughton, she was very transparent and educated me about specific health exams throughout the appointment. Speaking to her was very comfortable and natural. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
Verified patient
Ms. Norma was polite, kind and patient. She took time to speak with me and get to know what was taking place in my life currently. She took the time to speak about any tests recommended and why. She was an absolute pleasure.
Verified patient
She is extremely friendly and patient.
Verified patient
I went to Doctor Norma for my routine annual physical. She was caring, attentive, kind, respectful and non-judgmental. I felt like I was receiving care from a close family friend! I would recommend her to anybody looking for quality care.
Verified patient
Seeing and speaking to Norma is like receiving a warm hug. She’s extremely attentive and takes her time to explain everything to you, which explains why the wait time is so long. I think the appointments should be spaced out more. However, I would definitely recommend.
Verified patient
It was a very informative and helpful visit, I was able to gain confidence about how I was feeling and understanding from sitting with NP Haughton and she made the visit very relatable. The interaction was professional but yet personable and I felt like I would receive the care I needed rom her, the first visit already put it to gear a good change in my journey. I would recommend to anyone because you will leave with a caring and informative takeaway from her.
She was very warm and friendly with bedside manner. Took her time to explain anything I didn’t understand and had recent material to read if I chose to do so
