Birdeye Patient Review

"Worst experience ever. First appointment was a disaster & everyone I dealt with was heartless. Had a panic attack and didn’t have the courtesy to offer me a tissue. The nurse practitioner pretty much told me that she just told someone they had a miscarriage and at least it was me."
