Rude staff, Difficult to get through on the phone. Dr doesn't really know what to do its almost as if they are Guessing. My son has worn glasses since the age of two and her recommendation to stop his glasses from fogging up while wearing them. Ready. wear it up higher on your face or tape it down. I almost thought it was a Joke when I heard that but nope they were serious. These people shouldn't even have a license to practice medicine with an answer like that. TAPE THE MASK to your face.

Doesn t ever Dr ask for your insurance card or ask if it has changed before the visit? My insurance changed and we went to my sons appt. He has been going here for 13 years. All of a sudden I get a bill for one 30 minute visit for $350.00! Are you kidding me? Would have been 5 stars from past experience if it wasn't for the rudeness of the staff! So good luck

I Love Dr. Townsend, she is a smart, educated and a very nice physician. The problem with this office is her "gate keepers". I received a call from Joanne about my prescription and she never let me get a word in edge wise. She was condescending and told me to call another MD that I had seen once for resolution. Unacceptable! Sorry Dr. Townsend, you would have received 5 stars but your staff needs to learn how to speak and LISTEN to your patients.
