NO ACCOUNTABILITY BY MED/FRONT OFFICE STAFF!
Let me preface this by stating I understand Dr. Garg himself is quite good.
The clinic came recommended from a family friend. I booked my appointment over the phone with Rachel for the following afternoon. The following day I showed up half an hour early than the scheduled time to complete the new patient forms. Upon presenting myself to the staff they just looked at me and said "appointment? what appointment? There are no doctors here. They all left early.".!!! I took 2 hours off work between the appointment and traffic. No one believed that I had booked an appointment until I mentioned the person who booked it said her parent's have the same insurance as myself. Well, guess who that was? RACHEL, who was sitting at the desk quietly the entire 15 minutes. She meekly said it was her, but she was new and didn't "know" what happened to the appointment she (admitted) booked. She must have forgotten to hit enter. The other person at the desk then believed me and offered to re-schedule the next day first thing. Gave me all the paperwork in advance and took my insurance information so I would be in and out in 30 minutes. After checking to make sure I was in their system this time, I left. The next day I was the first patient for one of the new doctors. By 8:25 I was still waiting along with a lot of other patients. A lady in a white coat walked through the front door about 827 and snuck into the back. Well, it was the doctor with whom I had my 8am appointment. Do you think she apologized by the time I she saw me at 845? Not a practice for those of us who have to take time off from work to see a doctor. In addition, when I initially spoke with the front office they told me all the doctors were MDs (good) and they all attended medical school in the US. I found out the latter was not true. The office manager, to whom I could report my incident, left early on the first day and didn't arrive until past 930 on my second day. I waited 12 minutes to check out while the staff were discussing personal business. I just left in disgust. They can send me a bill. Finally, my exam room had over 10 holes drilled into a cinder block wall, needed painting, did not appear clean and looked like a clinic I had been to in Mexico. Dr Garg I understand you are great, but the Office Manager needs to be replaced, the front office staff at least re-trained, and housekeeping at a minimum to work overtime to catch up on the basics. Be careful!@ read more
