Called this morning to schedule an appointment. Apparently the stopped same day appointments back in June! Do not remember getting any information an a patient of over 10 years saying that they were doing this. We are now looking at other places for our health care.

This is the best care I've received in Fayetteville. Every single staff I encountered was so kind and I truly felt listed to and heard, which I've found hard to find in doctors offices. Feeling optimistic to go back again, when normally this is something I dread!

While on the phone asking questions, the person I was speaking to proceeded to hangup on me while I was in the middle of speaking to them. I waited for them to call back (my phone number was given and is visible. They also knew who I was through my files with them.) I will say I will more than likely never go here again. (In response to the owners reply.) No the call was not disconnected due to traffic or service.
The phone could very clearly be heard being put back onto the receiver. If it had been disconnected due to what you had suggested and I had not heard the actual phone hitting the base I would have called back.
