The ineptitude of this place is mind-boggling. You will likely wait 2 hours for your appointment, followed by them wasting 10 minutes more of your time with their stupid screener questions, and then good luck from there. I've spent the last year getting auto refills on medications I haven't used in over a year, but have to call and fight to get refills of the medications I do need EVERY TIME I need a refill. This place is a clusterfuck of incompetence.

Be prepared to always wait 2 or more hours. Management is making changes and it's not for the better. I wish my doctor would go somewhere else so I could stop coming here. I hate it

The OBGYN is the only branch I can give experience on. I've gone there for a few years. The staff is nice but that doesn't make up for the wait. It'll be 30-45 minutes MINIMUM after your scheduled appointment time just to be seen by the doctor. I've waited an hour and a half in the past. This is a consistent issue and a waste of time. Go someplace else.
