My husband went for a cut in his lip that needed 2 stitches. He was told "We don't do nothin for the face" and they sent him on his way. He asked for a place that does work on faves and they told him to Google it.

My NP and my previous Primary Dr were and are amazing, this is the only reason I still go to this office. The staff are rude and act like you are impeding on their day. The wait times are absolutely ridiculous. One time I had to make a same day sick appt with a different Dr and I was at that office for almost 2 hours (while sick as a dog) and still hadnt seen the Dr. I literally left in tears. Another day I had a "nurse" appt so they could show me how to use and injection(she didnt even know herself), They charged me for a dr visit and would not return my call/question to get that off my bill. Again I love the providers but the billing and office staff are awful

Horrible office. Dr Shelly Justa doesn't take any patient concerns seriously. She is rude and condescending and you end up waiting 45 minutes for her to spend 5 minutes with you. Last time I saw her she literally left the room abruptly after asking me 3 questions and I was left to find my own way out. On top of that they send invoices without full information so that you can't pay online. You can pay by phone if your free between 8-4 with a lunch break 12-1 even though it's 110 and I'm getting a message that they're still on lunch. So the only payment option is to mail by check which is a horrible inconvenience. I was going to just switch doctors however now I think I'll switch practices I general

The staff are always kind, efficient, and sweet. I had a bad experience with my health insurance one time and the assistant who was checking me in was soothing and encouraging. I'll never forget the way she handled that. Dr Locke and her nurse are very supportive, non-judgemental, and listen to my health concerns. They work with me towards a health goal. I've been a patient for over 5 years.
