Report
I just called and the receptionist was very short with me. I am a first time mom who was referred to this place by my daughter's doctor. I was calling to seek help for her allergies, and the person on the phone did not make me feel welcomed and frankly made me feel sort of dumb for even calling.

Awesome caring staff. Very easy to schedule appointments, and they are very good at making the process quick and fairly painless. Would absolutely recommend the doctors here for anyone who suffers from allergies.
