Terrible wait time. Especially when you're in pain. I understand they might be short staffed but they need to figure out something

The physical therapy staff are good people. They know what they are doing and they genuinely care about the patients. The scheduling staff however are lacking greatly. They have no problem with rescheduling patient's time slots without telling the patients ahead of time, nor discussing the time slot changes. They expect the patients to just go along with them while the patients are being jerked around.
I've had this happen more than once, and not a single time was I asked if the rescheduled time was ok by me. I don't have a problem with changing physical therapists, but I do have a problem with the time changes, especially without asking me if it was ok or not.

The wait to even get an appointment is ridiculous. And the neurologist I went to told me I needed electro shock therapy because of my vertigo because of my psychiatric history. Don't go here. People are uncaring and moronic

They turning patient away, without seeing them way before they close. I was there at 440 and they close at 7. then people wonder why people go to the ER, it's because of that.
