Common complaints
- Failure to respond to complaints filed through the Better Business Bureau
- Reports of long wait times and issues with appointment scheduling vs. walk-in triage policies
- Concerns regarding inconsistent service quality
"The first thing is it has moved to 7th street. Second is the service has drastically gone down since it moved to a building 4 to 5 times the size of the other one. I made an appointment, got there early, waited more than 2 hours only for them to take me into their 'triage' room and tell me I would not get to see a doctor because it is a first come first serve basis."
