- Patient review, LocalityBiz"The front desk is the first impression of any clinic, and sadly, this one sets the tone for everything wrong here. The receptionist is completely disengaged... showing zero empathy or courtesy."
- Patient review, LocalityBiz"Unfortunately, I had to wait nearly two hours before the on-call provider returned my call. While I understand that providers and staff are busy, such a long delay... left me feeling anxious and misguided."
