I saw doctor Campbell t a same day center. The worst physician i have ever come in contact with. I came in to be preemptive before my poison ivy spread to my face. She told me it didn't look so bad and if it got worse i could come back tomorrow. I have had this before and wanted to stop the spread. The worst experience of my life.

I had an endoscopy done at St Anne's by a doctor with OhioGastro and afterward, randomly received a bill from Central Ohio Primary Care's Shannon Richendollar, CNP for a "pre-operative evaluation." After having no recollection of meeting this person, I called COPC and they told me she "reviewed my chart" before my procedure. I called OhioGastro and St Anne's since I was never informed of this potential charge and they let me know she should not have done this, that I should have only received a bill from St. Anne's, OhioGastro, and the anesthesiologist.
I called COPC back and they told me that I still needed to pay the bill. To say this is slimy is an understatement. I would have denied her reviewing my chart if I had known beforehand and requested that my doctor do so instead of her. This is clearly a money grab and a reason to bill insurance and the patient without their consent. Central Ohio Primary Care and Shannon Richendollar, you need to do better.

WOW! Dr. Kim at the Worthington location has been a true blessing into my life. Although i'm a big strong guy, I suffer with medical related anxieties and get very nervous when going into doctors office, hospitals, etc. I let them know this information prior to my arrival and they could not have been nicer to me. They explained everything, and gave me a medication that has CHANGED MY LIFE. I am forever grateful for Dr. Kim. Even in CVOID times, the online appointments are top notch and feels like i'm in the doctor office. Thank you Dr. Kim and her team!

After two unreturned voicemails (a week apart) for the patient relations rep, I am leaving this review. I have had several appointments with Dr. Davis (Sports, Spine & Joint) for a recurring issue. At my most recent visit, he sent me for an MRI and referred me to a surgeon. I am unable to get an appointment with the surgeon for two months. I was advised by Dr. Davis staff that he will not review the MRI results or give me any guidance on what to do in the meantime unless I make another appointment. At this point, I have no faith that this practice is more concerned for my well-being than their revenue.

Tiffany in the Billing Department was amazing, great customer service! She went above and beyond to help me figure out my current balance since my primary care switched over to their company. I called before and the girl I spoke with prior to speaking with Tiffany was rude and unhelpful, she didn't care and wasn't interested in helping me pay off the bill, she did nothing but say."oh well and continue to read Hippa laws as if she was a robot", She wasn't trying and she clearly hates her job.
People like this should not work in the medical industry even if its just billing. So I called back hoping to get someone else with a better attitude. Thanks to Tiffany I finally got my medical bill paid! Thanks Tiffany!
