Common complaints

  • poor administrative responsiveness

"Administrative staff is not good here. When they say they will call me back, they rarely do. I call them back. I suggest that for any new patients here. Be proactive in calling them."

— Birdeye review (Ayer Neuroscience Institute Seizure and Epilepsy Clinic)

"Very bad service. They don't pick up the calls and fumbled my orders for CT scans and did not get the required pre-auths on time. Seems the doctors and assistants are over-loaded all the time."
