"I just do not understand this practice. Dr. Farrow was wonderful but that is the ONLY positive thing I can say. I tried for weeks to make an appointment... They said they had the wrong phone number... Nothing has changed since then."
— WebMD patient review"You have to wait on hold for several minutes just for them to initially answer the phone. This is all day, every day... It isn't unusual for the doctor to see you 1-2 hours after your scheduled appointment."
