I would not recommend this office. This place didn't take care good of patients, they don't have experiences. They are all nurses, no Doctors at the office at all, and the nurses had no experiences. Don't know to answer our questions and don't check any thing for our daughters when we are walking. someone put the tool into my daughter's nose for Covid test., and hurt my daughter and she got mad when my daughter was crying. My daughter's eyes turn red, and hard to breath, but she doesn't know what is going on, keeps asking us to come back, but still no Doctors. I'm unhappy when bring my kids to this place.

I would not recommend this office, Their main priority is not to take care of patients but to find a way scam people. My kids were due for vaccine shots. I checked in and ask front desk about the cost which they couldn't provide me the cost. They told me that they will provide me with the cost in the room. I asked them and I could not get an answer. Next thing they bring out vaccine with out disclosing the cost.
I'm at check out they pull a bill of $1200 bill for Vaccine's and check up. I contact the billing department first promise me look into it and make correction which was a total lie. I asked for an office manager and they would not help me. I'm writing this review because of how unprofessional and dishonest a doctor office can be if you are paying attention. Please look harder and read review before you think of joining this office.

I am beyond disappointed in this doctor's office. The way they handled the treatment of my two children in the middle of a pandemic is beyond disgraceful. I do not recommend you talking your child here especially if you are looking to hold both doctors AND nurses to a high standard.
