— Vitals review for Dr. Nikisha Richards"His attitude changed completely. He was abrupt, condescending, and sarcastic. After that visit, I never returned to the practice or saw him again."
— WebMD review for Dr. Edmund Trice"Be cautious with their billing practices. I was quoted one price for cataract surgery, but was ultimately charged nearly 50% more. When I followed up to understand the discrepancy, my concerns were ignored—and the account was suddenly sent to collections."
