Don't not go here if you have Champ Va or Tricare insurance. Not only did they take months to finally send a bill out but they charged over $200 just per a basic wellness check. They couldn't explain why their billing was so high and were billing us the excess amounts that champ va had already reduced it for!

I brought my very sick toddler in to see the Dr. We sat in the room for over an hour, then when the Dr finally came in, said it was bc he's cutting teeth and should be fine. I guess I'm cutting teeth too bc I have the same symptoms.

I took my son in because he had a severe cold and was told he didnt need medicine, he was fine. Refused to do bloodwork, xray, allergy test, and refused to give medications of any kind. The next day! I had to rush my son to the ER for shortness of breath and we are told he had pneumonia. Following up with Dr. Michelle Prigge, the original doctor.this time she is in denial that he was sick."I dont know why they said he has pneumonia"." I cant pull up his charts right now the computer is acting slow"These people can not be trusted to do there job!
Thank God I followed my instincts. This is not the first time I have felt just uncomfortable with the lack of care given. Im sure we were being denied proper care for a specific reason but I can not prove it. low class for a professional to be so careless.
