I'm sure the doctors are great here but the staff is atrocious. I called for months trying to see Dr. Lucy McBride. Her assistant Miriam never answers the phone. I literally called over two dozen times over two weeks trying to reach her. When I finally got through a few months ago she said "Dr. McBride isn't taking patients now.try back in a few months". Three months later I tried again and finally got through after many, many attempts. Her assistant literally told me the same thing."try back after the first of the year". I need a doctor and staff that is more responsive than this and I'm sure others do too.

Excellent customer service! They called me back even past hours on a Friday to help me deal with medical records and Marsha really went the extra mile helping me with my problem.

Matthew Parker is legitimately the most awful, unprofessional, inappropriate physician I have ever dealt with. A family member on mine went in for a visit and he was extremely rude, condescending, and downright creepy. I highly recommend you stay away from this man that calls himself a doctor. Just AWFUL.

Dr Assil Saleh is a brilliant doctor! She is very thorough and has such a kind nature. I'm so lucky to have her as my doctor.

I called the doctor's office today requesting an office visit because I had been severely under the weather for 6 days. Dr. Hansen's receptionist (with NO medical credentials) told me that my symptoms were probably just a flu, and that I should get better in a couple days-- therefore I didn't need to see Dr. Hansen. EVEN MORE-- she told me that ONLY if I had a temperature over 101 OR had trouble breathing that I should see Dr. Hansen. Then she turned me away. I left the practice immediately. They're awful.
