DO NOT GO HERE AS LONG AS ANGELICA IS THE RECEPTIONIST. She is rude, uneducated, and sociopathic. She has no empathy for anyone and if she doesn't like you she will hang up on you while trying to make an appointment.

Worse Receptionist ever in this Clinic. No matter how many times you call they will not answer the phone. So I decided to go in one day and make a call to see what reason and why they are not answering the phones. To my surprised they just ignore the calls and mind you this was on a slow day to say the least. You think the phones are there to be answer by a person but I guess the sound of the phone is a bell ring for break time. RIDICULOUS!

Anchor medical and Dr Goula are great, but someone needs to address the attitude of Angelica at the reception desk. I can't express the level of blatantly unnecessary hostility I experienced while speaking to her. Zero patience, lacking professionalism and basic understanding of what constitutes public/private information. If I was rating her specifically it would be 1 star

The office in Lincoln is terrible, I had an ultrasound of my thyroid, which showed large nodules. Luckily I sent the results to my Obgyn also because anchor medical NEVER CALLED ME TO TELL ME I NEED TO HAVE A BIOPSY ASAP. I do not recommend this office.

Good old fashioned medical care, Dr Sidleiki is a great doctor, great listener, and selfless care giver. I always feel better when I leave, full of hope and ready to be a healthier person. The care and personal attention is old school. Brenda gives the best shots, and referrals go through smoothly. Highly recommend

Nurse Joanne was rude over the phone. The DR that answered my phone call was also rude, interrupted me multiple times while asking questions then said have a great day bye and hung up. Chief of Providence Anchor Medical DIANE was also rude over the phone stating because I asked to speak to a different nurse I was breaking policy. They refused me to talk to a different doctor or nurse then continually made me call back over 5 times just to get medical advice on asthma. Would not recommend this doctor office, they are completely rude and do not accept any patient requests.

Went to see Dr Goula and nurse Joanne assisted me. Joanne was seriously rought with me while taking my blood pressure. Constantly was giving me attitude for an old lady. Dr Goula would not prescribe me antibiotics for my UTI when I had told him the side affects were putting me in severe pain. Also was in the waiting room for over an hour when I was on time for my appointment. Would not send ANYONE to this office.
