If I can put one star I would. The front desk the old lady was extremely rude my appointment was early in the morning and it's to early to be having such a bad day! She had a terrible attitude and was not polite or nice at all just extremely rude the only reason I went here because my doctor told me to. But nevertheless I change doctors and everything definitely not satisfied with this care horrible place don't come here!

The doctor is respectful and explains everything. However the front office staff is rude. No one greets you when you come in. The lady always seems to have some type of attitude when you arrive. They tell you to arrive early to fill out papers but doesnt have the paper ready for you. The appointment then becomes late. This is my second time going to this location that my insurance sent me too. If I didnt have to go I wouldn't.

Wait forever. My appointment is 8:15 and I ask if I need to write any forms when I arrived. They said if they need, they will let me know. I wait for 2 hours, after that, they said I was late. At 10:30 am, they said there still have 2-3 people before, they don't know how long do we need to wait. It's horrible.

Worst place ever. My appointment is at 1:30 pm; they keep calling me to make sure I can arrive 15mins earlier than the appointment time. And now it's 4:40pm I'm still waiting in the waiting room. The appointment system is a joke.
