Patient review on Birdeye

"This is the worst doctor office I have ever dealt with. We had an appointment a week ago Monday. We showed up only to find out the doctor had called in sick. We did not get a call telling us not to come in. They rescheduled for the following Monday. We show up today for our appointment, only to find out the doctor is out sick again. We never got a call letting us know."
