This place is great! Every time I call the girls are always friendly and very helpful, ive had plenty of emergency's in the past and they have always accommodated me. Yes they are booked out 3-4 months out right now but thats because they are just so highly requested. But at the same time who isn't booked out right now just to get in to see my PCP I have to wait till October! The world is changing so fast and we just have to adapt to this new healthcare norm which is booked out for months now! I prefer this clinic because of there vast knowledge in skin concerns.

My husband and I have been here to see Dr. Hester for about two years. We've always been treated kindly and professionally. Dr. does a wonderful job explaining what each situation is and what possibilities there are treating problem areas. Any time we've had other staff contact, it's always been a positive experience. I'm glad our primary care provider referred to this fine organization.

This is the most unprofessional place I have ever encountered! Tonya the office manager is rude and disgusting! I've been coming here for a year, unable to wear a mask due to a disability. It was in my chart notes, then I show up for my appointment and suddenly they tell me there are no notes and turned me away! Such liars and complete disregard for someone who has been giving business for a year! This place is completely horrible! I wish I could say more, I'm absolutely disgusted! Do not go here! I beg you!

I've been here 4 times, and I should have learned better after the first time. Shame on me. After my first encounter with blind billing through this office, I made sure to ask the billing dept how much this small procedure could cost out of pocket. I wanted to be prepared for the max amount I would pay. Of course they assured me of the total cost (in the event that my insurance didn't cover anything) but the final bill was over $500 more than what they promised me it would be.
They used outside medical facilities for who knows what and billed me for that. The billing dept is impossible to get ahold of to work out payments. So unless you're totally ok with getting billed any possible amount, avoid this place at all costs. The doctors I'm sure are fine, but they all seem more concerned with having you come in so they can bill you rather than actually helping you.

Unfortunately scheduling with this clinic is extremely difficult. Office staff provide poor customer service. Communication is not good.
