Dr.Flowers assisted me with care and was informative on my illness. I was in and out, I'm glad I came here instead of an ER where I would've waited hours before being seen. From reading the reviews it sounds better to make an appointment than a walk in because of course you won't be seen right away from others who made appointments.

I have experienced poor customer service before, but my encounter with Samantha at this urgent care…read morewas one of the most appalling and unprofessional experiences I have ever had. Her behavior was rude, hostile, dismissive, and completely unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting where patients are coming in because they need medical attention. I arrived approximately 30 minutes before closing, and from the moment I walked through the door, Samantha looked visibly disgusted by my presence. She did not greet me, acknowledge me, or extend even the most basic courtesy. The other front desk employee, who was apparently being trained by Samantha, actually greeted me. How ironic that the person responsible for training another employee was the one demonstrating such an embarrassing lack of professionalism. Samantha appeared irritated from the beginning, seemingly because I chose not to register through the text message option. Apparently, a patient exercising their choice about how to complete registration is an inconvenience to her. She sighed dramatically and informed me that I would have to complete paperwork because I had not checked the box to register by text. Her tone was unnecessarily rude and condescending. If I wanted to register by text, I would have selected that option. I should not be made to feel like a burden simply because an employee has to perform the responsibilities of her job. The situation only deteriorated from there. Samantha asked for my insurance card and initially claimed my insurance was not in the system. I explained that it was, and after continuing to click through the system, she eventually located it. Throughout this interaction, I was simply asking whether there was another way to retrieve my insurance information because I did not have the physical card with me and had never previously been required to present it. Instead of offering assistance with a professional attitude, she continued behaving as though helping me was an unbearable inconvenience. Her attitude was so noticeably unpleasant that I finally asked, "Are you okay?" Rather than responding professionally, Samantha raised her voice and snapped, "You're the one with the attitude. You got an attitude with me first!" I was absolutely stunned. The response was so childish and immature that it sounded like something one would expect from an argument between elementary school students, not from an adult working at the front desk of a medical facility. I explained that I did not have an attitude, but even if she perceived my tone that way, I was the patient, and her behavior was still completely inappropriate. I informed her that she was being unprofessional and needed to improve her customer service skills. Her response? "You too." Seriously? This is the level of professionalism this urgent care allows at its front desk? When I asked to speak with her manager, she repeatedly told me, "You can file a complaint." That was not what I asked. I asked where her manager was. After having to repeat myself, she finally yelled, "She's not here!" When I asked for the manager's name, Samantha rolled her neck and responded, "Laquisha," with an attitude that gave me the impression she could not care less whether I reported her behavior. Throughout this exchange, she repeatedly stated, "You have a $35 copay. Insert or swipe," as though she could simply dismiss me rather than address her conduct. She was also shaking her head and vigorously shaking her legs while I was standing at the counter. Her entire demeanor communicated irritation, hostility, and an astonishing lack of self-control. What happened next was even more disrespectful. I asked Samantha whether she needed anything else from me to complete my check-in. SHE DELIBERATELY IGNORED ME! I was standing directly in front of her. I asked a second time, and she continued to ignore me. Imagine being a patient seeking medical care and having the front desk employee refuse to acknowledge a basic question because she is apparently upset that you challenged her unprofessional behavior. I eventually had to turn to the employee Samantha was training and ask whether anything else was needed because Samantha was refusing to respond. The other employee politely indicated that she did not think anything else was required. What makes this entire experience even more disturbing is that Samantha behaved this way in front of other patients and an employee she was responsible for training. If this is the example she sets for new employees, I seriously question the customer service standards, employee training, and accountability at this facility. Patients do not come to urgent care for entertainment. They come because they are sick, injured, uncomfortable, or in need of medical attention. The last thing anyone should have to deal with is a front desk employee who appears annoyed by their arrival, becomes argumentative over routine registration procedures, raises her voice, responds....... cont'd

My wife scheduled what was supposed to be her annual physical at this practice. She had been a…read morepatient here for years under Dr. K, who has since retired. During the appointment, the new physician asked questions about her existing medical history, including cholesterol and other previously diagnosed conditions. My wife answered those questions but did not seek treatment for any new issues. The physician ordered routine blood work, including tests that she has received as part of her annual physical for several years. We were surprised to later receive a bill for a separate office visit. We were told that because pre-existing conditions were discussed during the appointment, the visit was billed separately. We also received a separate bill from the lab for the blood work. What makes this particularly frustrating is that my wife has had these same routine tests performed during her annual physicals for the past four years at this practice without receiving an additional office visit charge or lab charge. Patients should be aware that discussing existing medical conditions during an annual physical at Northside Primary Care Midtown (previously Midtown Medical Associates), even when responding to questions from the physician, will result in additional charges. Basic tests such as cholesterol, lipid profile etc. is not covered under the annual physical with this practice anymore. We wish this had been explained clearly before or during the appointment so we could have made an informed decision. We are disappointed and concerned about the transparency of the billing process. We will look for another doctor.

I have yet to have even a decent experience here but being new to Atlanta I don't really have any…read moreother references, But my last attempt here was just too much. I called to get an appointment with Dr. Koralewski although I had previously seen Dr. Miller. The staff told me "You cannot change doctors", I asked why and the young lady said she didn't know and her manager handles that. I asked to speak to the manager where i was again told "You cant change doctors because that is OUR POLICY". I asked her to email me the policy. She said "NO. I AM GIVING IT TO YOU VERBALLY". I asked is the policy in writing anywhere and she said NO. They were extremely rude and it seems to me this is actually UNETHICAL. I will certainly be sharing my experience and searching for a new practitioner.

OK...so I went to the OB/GYN the other day…read more... Well, maybe not. However, my wife did so this isn't the strangest review...or is it? Anyway, she raved and raved about Dr. Kleiss like I would rave about a pie from Lombardis. Professional, very friendly, personable, comfortable, informative, and all those other things. She did all the woman things perfectly, better than anyone ever in history. Got it? Good. So there you have it. She gets top dog rating and every woman should use Dr. Kleiss from this day forward! Update: I got to meet Dr. Kleiss recently and I have to say she is great. Relaxing and down to earth demeanor which settles you down about big things (like up and coming babies).

Dr. Kleiss is a fantastic doctor and surgeon. She gets four stars for that alone. I got pregnant…read morethe month after she operated to remove a uterine polyp that was probably preventing pregnancy. And, though I wasn't thrilled to need a C-section, I was thrilled to have Dr. Kleiss doing it - my scar is practically invisible and I had a smooth recovery. But over the 7+ years I have been seeing her, it became clear that this practice probably isn't the best fit for me. Dr. Kleiss is very cool, relaxed, and friendly, and her general MO is to very confidently convey that everything is fine. This probably puts most people at ease, but for me--and I know I have anxiety issues--it does the opposite. I like data, and (what I perceive) as overconfidence makes me nervous, which causes me to ask more questions to verify. Which causes the provider to become irritated with me and probably write "difficult" in my chart a la Seinfeld https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyossoHFDJg. A lot of times, she was right and there was nothing to worry about. But sometimes my concerns were right... she was confident that I didn't have any fertility issues, but when I pushed for testing we found a polyp ... she played down my feeling that the baby was breech, but I was right and we found out too late to turn the baby. Basically, it just became a cycle where I never trusted her assurances and she was automatically skeptical of any concern I raised. (Full disclosure, there was also an incident where I was left in a waiting room alone with no windows for over an hour and got pretty upset - the sad kind, not the angry kind... not real proud of that one, but I was going to be late for something important... after that incident I always brought my computer and expected to be there at least 2.5 hours) At some point, things turned and I just never felt comfortable there anymore. I felt like I had a not-entirely-deserved reputation that I could never overcome. But I can't complain - I have a healthy baby and my torso isn't completely wrecked yet. And now I have switched to an OB practice I feel much more comfortable with (hopefully they don't request my records and suddenly turn cold!)

Today I stopped in to ask if Dr. Aimee could perform an injection for sciatica and to make sure they had this medicine in stock. Just that question only, before I went to the emergency room. What I experienced was a total different no customer service attitude response to my kindness and concern. This is nothing like the medical professional service that we are use to experiencing. I stood at the front desk for 10 minutes before I was greeted. Once the young lady appeared I was immediately given an attitude for no reason and she would not make eye contact nor apologize for keeping us waiting as three employees were laughing and socializing. They looked at us and we looked at them through the entry door window that leads back to the treatment area. I asked if I could call her right quick on the phone she said no. I said I could email her. She will not assist with that. She said if I did they would get back to me in a few days as I'm standing there with no one in the waiting room and no patients coming or going. She told me I would have to pay $150 and then she would see me (Dr. Aimee.) Super unprofessional all around. It is very disappointing as I am in tremendous pain and wanted to see a physician I could trust. My family and I will not be coming back.

On the occasion where I have needed a referral to another provider, I was quite happy with the doctor he chose. One thing I don't love (and this is why I am only giving 4 stars) is that there is often a really long wait after the stated appointment time. This is probably true at all doctors' offices today, but I still hate it.

I met the new doctor once, & I did not make another appointment there after; with anyone. As life progresses, & we get older, health concerns arise that calls for medical attention. I was in need of a Dr. Jarrett, but I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with anyone attempting to replace her. With the World Wide Web being at our fingertips, something told me to do a search for her. I'm so glad that I did because I found that she was less than 9 minutes from my home, in a new office of her own. I had never in my adult life been so excited, & eager to go to the doctors office. Her facility is very warm, welcoming, clean, & inclusive. The staff, nurses, & assistants are all very nice & efficient, from the moment my call was answered, till the time my appointment was over. & Dr. Jarrett, is just the same as ever, WONDERFUL.
