— WebMD review for Dr. David Kruchko"Absolutely terrible. Dismissed my medical concerns then tried to send me to a $500 operation. Canceled that. Months later (after a move) they sent me to COLLECTIONS without ever giving me the courtesy of a phone call or email... Absolutely no sense of customer service at this office."
— WebMD review for Dr. Rya Kaplan"The absolute rudest office staff. My appointment reminders continuous said be here by 7am, get here and the front desk staff gets angry stating we don’t even open till 715. That’s not my fault."
