Expect to be put on hold every time you all. Go look at their reviews on yelp. Everybodey says the same thing. If I could actually reach someone, I would cancel my upcoming appointment. Cancelled

Where to start?! Well, lets see, multiple times the staff has given the wrong appointment date, then the soonest available to replace it was a month out! Not just once or twice, but in fact 3 separate times this has happened. Good luck getting someone to talk to, usual wait time on hold seems to be 30 minutes plus, and most of those conversations requires them to "check something and call you back" which they never do.
Staff told us directly "We were going to call you back, but it didn't matter" As far as the doctors go, if you can ever see one, they have been good. Don't expect anything to be easy if you have to deal with the office staff. You'll have better luck at the DMV, with pretty much anything.

Our experience with the doctors have always been fine, but the staff is very rude. They are always seeking money. They threatened to cancel my husband's follow up, after a stroke, appointment if we didn't pay his balance that was due. They refused to discuss payment options with him. The first time the front desk said they would not see us unless we paid 90% of the balance. This was in October and we had just gotten the bill, with a due date of November 7th. No one should ever feel this way about a visit to a doctor. They should really reconsider some of their staff choices. Maybe consider more training. Or get rid of some of the people.

Do they ever answer the phone? Recording just tells you to go to website but the website is terrible and you have to upload your insurance cards with no security at all. After reading some other reviews it seems it may be for the best. They don't want any new patients.
