They are closed on Fridays. I always wait at least an hour before I'm seen by the doctor. The people that work there are nice, but the office is ridiculous. People break in and steal the medical equipment. You need to wait months before you can be seen which is frustrating. I was experiencing weight loss and fainting spells so I told them I needed some time to focus on my health with my other specialists for a few weeks and they sent me formal discharge papers LOL good riddance.

Let me start by saying Dr. Iweha is absolutely a sweet and caring doctor. She treated me with nothing but respect and has a great sense of humor. But I just received a letter stating that I was rude and cursed out the office manager over an issue with their billing. I brought up that a $60 copay for results from lab work was ridiculous since I paid the initial $60. When I go to my primary care doctor there is no charge for lab results.
The office manager, Jodene Rainford, stormed out of her office and was very rude and disrespectful to me. I never once cussed at anyone or raised my voice. She was the one who yelled at me. I find her lies and unprofessional behavior to be a reason that I won't be going back. That's sad since Dr. Iweha is such a truly great physician.

Friendly and attentive staff. I'm always greeted with a smile and often by name. Both the Dr. Iweha and the office manager have been very helpful and honest when I have had questions. I recently referred 2 diabetic friends to their office.

Is there an option for a negative review? Let me begin with how horrible the customer service is Diego, Jessica, and Omar are extremely rude towards patients. The manager is by far the worst human being I've ever spoken she is evil and vindictive towards patients as well. The manager refused service because we are not important enough to be seen. They are liars and racist against towards Hispanic people. No wonder there are so many horrible reviews everything written about them is completely true. If ever referred to this place beg your doctor to refer you to somewhere else.
