Amazing primary care provider! I was able to do a walk in appointment and was seen in less than…read more15min. staff was friendly and attentive and the doctor answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met. They even called several pharmacies in the area without me asking when I found out my usual one was closed to make sure I had access to my medication as soon as possible. Office was clean and well maintained as well.

Absolutely terrible and deceitful practice. My wife had a visit a few months ago and during that…read morevisit, she discussed with the front desk and her doctor, Dr. Perez, regarding billing. They assured her that she would not be billed as everything was covered under insurance. She had to come back the following week for a follow up due to an issue during her visit. She was assured it would be covered. We then got several bills for BOTH visits along with the labs that Dr. Perez apparently lied about stating that it would be covered. We spoke to the billing department and they were HORRIBLE - rude and unprofessional telling me that WE are responsible for knowing THEIR billing codes and practices, not THEIR own doctors, like what??! We will NEVER be returning for any services from them as they are unresponsive when trying to talk to the office and do not take ownership for their own actions.

The actual doctor visit was fine. The 1 star rating is for the incompetent staff. I came to this…read moreclinic because one of the doctors was listed as in-network for my insurance. The first question I asked the guy at the front desk was if they are in-network preferred providers and he said yes. If he had said no, obviously I would have gone elsewhere, but he assured me they were in-network and told me all I owed for my visit was my copay. A couple of weeks later I received a bill for quite a few hundred dollars. Thinking it's a mistake I call my insurance to try to get it straightened out. Eventually I was directed to Maria, the billing manager, for Acute Family Medicine. I called her 3 times and she never called me back. I had to physically walk into her office to get her to talk to me. All she could say was she wasn't sure what was going on because she had never set up any sort of plan between the clinic and my insurance. She said she talked to the guy at the front desk, but didn't remember telling me they were in-network. She said she felt like the clinic was partially to blame and she would try to figure something out. After several more attempts at calling Maria, she finally called me back and said she would try to have another doctor (not the doctor who saw me) sign off on my paperwork at an attempt to have my insurance pay for it because the other doctor might be in-network...umm ok? That doesn't seem very ethical, but sure, lady. Maria then tells me that I should start making payments because she "doesn't think this plan will work". At this point, I'm so fed up. I have my lawyer call her and she tells him she never asked the guy at the front desk if he remembered telling me they were in-network. She can't get her story straight. I never heard from her again, just another bill. I paid it so I wouldn't be sent to collections, but I seriously urge you to find anywhere else to go. The staff obviously can't be trusted to know how to do their jobs correctly.

When I called asking for clarification on another billing issue a woman at the front was very rude to me too. I don't know what's going on or why billing issues can't be properly explained, but I'm over it and won't ever return. I believe my money is not being properly handled.

Later, when I arrived at the clinic, they did not instruct me in anything, they did not give me a piece of paper that said what I had to do because I had never in my life gone to a drug test. Since I couldn't pee, they told me I had to stay for 3 hours. and I told them that I was going to go to my car to get a chocolate because I hadn't eaten for 8 hours and that my stomach also hurt so I went out and came back and these people told me that I had done something totally horrible for having gone out to grab a chocolate to my car I went to that clinic voluntarily.
