Dissatisfaction with billing policies, administrative procedures, and office policies changing without notice

"It shouldn’t take 3 days of phone calls to get a script and you shouldn’t have to wait over an hour and a half sitting in an office for the doctor to come speak to you."

— Patient review of Brown Medicine (Endocrinology)

"My only complaint is the appt system. I hate that the only way to get an appt is to call at 8 am."

— Patient review of Dr. Sarah Fessler

"He is an unbelievable diagnostician... If it is off hours and you leave a message with the answering service, he calls right back."

— Patient review of Dr. Richard M. Bianco
