  • Poor communication regarding appointments, cancellations, and doctor availability
  • Policies regarding saving credit card information on file
  • Issues with insurance verification and unexpected billing charges

"While the nurse and the physician assistant provided a good care, the experience at the front desk was deeply disappointing and concerning. ... Respectful and profesional comunicación should be a basic expectation, especially in a medical setting."

LocalityBiz (Patient Review)

"After charging me for a copay (before my appointment!) and making me wait 40 mintues, I was told that the Dr is not in today. They did not have the decency to call me to reschedule the appointment ahead of time and I wasted an hour of my day."
