Report
Doctors and nurses are fine, they are very educated, respectful and treat patients with dignity. But, the front desk stuff make of every doctor's visit a nightmare, they are very rude and treat people with no respect at all.

As a patient who has been attending this clinic since childhood I am greatly disappointed in the attitude that the front desk staff have portrayed. The are extremely rude at times and are unwilling to help patients. I speak for my family members and friends with this review and I also look forward to making an official complaint toward this clinic. If there is anyone who is looking to go to this clinic I recommend you don't. I understand if this was a one time occurrence but I have been extremely disrespected more than once.

People who answers the phone are so unprofessional. I was verifying the address and have her wait for a sec to get a pen. She gave me a sigh. Which is not acceptable.
