Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a person who is more irresponsible - or more of an…read moreincompetent jerk - than "Dr" John Wallace. I had been going to CORE for three years, and with the exception of another incompetent and rude spine specialist (Jessica Hepburn), I have pretty much been more than satisfied with the quality of care -that is, until I met John Wallace... I am a sickly person - so much so, that I take my 78-year-old mother to appointments with me in case I fall, or worse. My mother was appalled by the behavior of this doctor, and she has quadruple the patience that I have. I am an Addiction Psychologist, so I diagnose conditions and afflictions for a living. John Wallace is the textbook definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I went to see him for a number of pain locales, first and foremost being degenerative arthritis in the lower back. John Wallace refused to listen to me, and he proceeded to tell ME how I felt and how severe my symptoms are and are not (!). He asked me if the pain was radiating down and throughout the legs, and when I told him yes ... that is my primary concern ... he glossed over everything I had just told him and proceeded to tell ME that I don't really have pain there... When he saw the exposed nerves in the MRIs of my neck and lower back, he claimed that IF - and only IF - the pain was radiating, then he might suggest surgery. BUT, since (he argued, laughably) I do not really experience pain there, there's no need to treat me for any type of affliction, as it's some form of fiction that I need to get over, quit lying about and stop wasting his time with. So here's to say: John Wallace - I apologize for wasting your time, but fear not - I will NEVER return to see you again, and I will share this disastrous experience with every friend, family member and stranger. We, as patients, wouldn't want to be the cause of your "burnout". The goal here is ensure you have as few patients as it is possible, so that more innocent folks are not subjected to your abusive behavior.

Oh, and his teammmm ( yup they love us too) they're also blessed to work together with such an Amazingly warm hearted person. And handsome ( oh I already said that!)

I went to see "Dr"…read more Wendi Lundquist at Active Life Physical Therapy (Avondale on Dysart) for a 2nd visit after she had requested I go have spinal x rays done. She initially walked in and asked if I was there to schedule spinal injections. When I said I hadn't decided about the injections yet and wanted to look at alternatives, her demeanor became very cold. Basically, she spent approximately five -10 minutes at most in the room with me and when I said I had questions, she was extremely rude, looked at me like I wasn't even there, and literally said she didn't have time for me and simply got up to leave. As she walked out the door, I said maybe I was not in the right place then, and she simply said I was free to go elsewhere, turned around and walked out. I left the office in tears. I am finally writing because her office has been recently been leaving me voicemails about attending events in her office and I unfortunately relieved the experience I had with her. I am so happy I denied the injections and as it turns out, both of my hips are bone on bone and that is causing me much more pain that my spine. I am having my first hip replacement this month.

Just like previous patients, I encountered a rude, condescending, bitter tiny receptionist. I said…read morehello because she obviously wasn't going to greet me. She was in the middle of a funny gossip fest with her coworker. Turned to look at me with no greeting after mine, and changing her expression to a very serious angry face, she said: name. I answered with a smile to show that I wasn't there to upset her very sad low life. As she checked my name in, she turned to her coworker again and it was instant smile and gossip about her situation. Again turns to me, flat angry face because I obviously interrupted her gossip time, hands me a clip board and with no further words, turns back to her story. I, being a client of over 2 years already know I have to fill out paperwork. But, if I was a new client, I would have been mad with the service. Thankfully my physician is great and friendly and caring. On my way out I made sure I walked over to the other coworker, with glasses, she was friendlier and at least said thank you to me when I handed over the clip board. She even asked questions for follow ups and wished me a good day. Now, even though she was the one talking with the rude unprofessional one before, at least she did her job when approached. I should give it less stars, but like I said, Todd is great. The other Doctor rushes you too much but Todd is on it. After 2 years, gota pick my battles.

I'm going to say the typical "if I could give this place 0 stars I would" based on MULTIPLE…read moreexperiences my mother had. For her first visit she made an appointment at a location convenient to her and when she went in to drop off her new patient paperwork, they told her that the doctor she was scheduled with didn't come to that office which was not what she was originally told. She was then told that her doctor was leaving the practice, so she set up an appointment with a nurse practitioner for a few weeks later. Her telehealth visit was at 7AM in which the nurse practitioner did not show up to. My Mom had already waited an EXTRA two weeks because of THEIR scheduling errors. So she called and rescheduled the teleheath appt for the end of that day, which must have pissed the nurse practitioner off, because when she saw my mother she was extremely rude and rushed because she was so bothered that she had to stay an extra 30 minutes (if that) to take care of my mother as a patient, which is HER JOB. So, last week my mom tried to get a refill on her Gabapentin (which is NOT an opiate or a narcotic), and they denied her prescription. They never bothered to call her so she called them and was very rudely told she needed to see someone before they would refill it. By this point four days had already gone by and she was going to be out. The MA that called her back was extremely rude and told her she HAD to come in Monday if she wanted her refill. No courtesy, no options given, just nasty attitude. My mom said forget it and that she'd go see someone else (wouldn't you?). In the meantime my mom calls her primary care to get a refill to hold her over until she finds another specialist and this office HAD CALLED MY MOTHERS PRIMARY CARE AND TOLD THEM SHE WAS UNCOOPERATIVE AND THAT SHE DISPLAYED DRUG SEEKING BEHAVIOR. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. HOW, HOW could you do that to someone after treating her the way you did? She has NEVER, NEVER taken drugs in her life and HATES narcotics. So now my mother's Primary care wont fill her prescription and shes stuck being in pain and having to find TWO new doctors. I'm in the medical field and have been for 15 years and I have never thought an office was such trash in my entire life. SHAME on you. If I could call you every name in the book, I would. If you want patient care or expect to be treated with any kind of respect, don't come here.

I have been without my medications for 4 days plus another 2 over the weekend. These doctors and practitioners do not take your health and pain seriously. This Estrella location is horrible.
