November 7, 2025
The nursing and admin staff were terrific. The physician was incredibly rude - we came on Friday at 3:45 as soon as my son got home from school. The physician walked into our room and the first thing he said was "345 on a friday, are you serious" and continued to berate us about coming so late on a friday, essentially telling us he had better things to do. Why did I wait so long to be seem, questioning my parenting. He never introduced himself and until I told him this was when I was available as a working mom, only then did he let up a bit. He softened a little by the end, but I would not recommend this care provider to anyone. Poor bedside manner, and not a great doctor. I will request a different physician next time.

Was great
August 6, 2025
The doc was very good, however, I waited over one hour for him to come in to see me. It would have been nice to have someone come in & explain the delay. Then I couldn't make my follow up appointment because the front desk left at 4pm.
August 2, 2025
Was 45 minutes late for the appointment. Spent 10 minutes without much discussion of issues. Brought someone with him in street clothes. Never introduced him or said why he was there. Then left. 45 minutes later after I went looking for someone a nurse or PA came back with a bunch of papers with instructions that in some cases contradicted what the doctor had said.
