"I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours for a follow up appointment. At that point decided to leave without the doctors evaluation. ... Overall, they DONT HAVE it together and patient's time is definitely not a concern."

"If I could give zero stars, I would. ... This office did NOT listen. They did NOT care. They put my health at risk instead of protecting it."
