Report
My first Appointment for a procedure was botched by the office staff. Then, I agreed to set up a second appointment and that one was worse than the first. I was supposed to have a procedure on a Monday they Didn't call me to tell me my scheduled time of arrival even after I called them. They said"someone will call you". Which nobody did. But after screwing it up they never even called to apologize or anything. TERRIBLE customer service. Never again!

When you call your waiting on hold at least 15mins, if not more. You aren't allowed to switch Doctors more than once, so you better like one of the two you chose. A 3 to 4 week wait to get in even if you were just in the hospital. Had a upper scope done last year with Dr. Partha Nandi and he was two hours late to show up not to mention the other patients ahead of me. I waited 4 hours because of his lack of caring about his patients. Will not be going back and will make sure I never recommend anyone here.

Never again. The doctors are ok, the billing and customer services is the worst, rudest group of people I ever came across. Don't trust them when they say they will fix billing problems they made on error. This has accrued several times. The billing supervisor is a clueless know it all, was the reason for.continuing to drop the ball. Even worse the next level of her management (her boss) let's her run the ship and is extremely unprofessional & clueless when listening to any details (doesn't care). I held back on names but will be glad to provide. They will never get my business again and I will continue to provide more details of their office incompetence. Look elsewhere!

Discriminated against me, wouldn't allow me to set my reoccurring medical procedure. Why? Because I can't be vaccinated and I will not take a faulty C19 test before any procedure. I have documented natural immunity for both variants and yet they will not recognize that. I will remove my comments when this practice recognizes that not all people are able to comply with unconstitutional orders or comments. Especially when tests and vaccines are not 100% accurate or effective. Otherwise this a great practice.
