At my age, there's a fair amount of stress visiting a doctor for the first time so I was a bit anxious because I know some drs. will rush through the visit, not giving enough time to get the full picture of my medical needs.

I had a short list of things that I definitely wanted to make sure I discussed with the doctor, and I never needed to refer to that list because he hit on everything without my prompting. Plus, he just seems like an all-around nice guy.

On numerous occasions she told me to be quiet while I was checking on my mom and told me I shouldn't talk. My mother is 58 years old and has bad memory so I was there to help her and the doctor remained to be so rude she even told me I need to be quiet so that she can speak in the native language with my mom (which I can also speak). I reminded my mom to ask for a referral for the dermatologist and was kicked out by the doctor because she said she can't multitask...my mother does not understand medical terms and has terrible memory so she looks at me to answer a lot of questions and remember certain things. This doctor is rude the place is disgusting and unprofessional, I don't care what degree you have you do not treat people this way!

Just had the most frustrating conversation with the person who answered at this office - her name…read morewas Diana. As I was looking for a doctor who is trained in Integrative medicine for my family, I had some basic questions as to whether the doctor was taking patients only with serious illnesses or otherwise healthy and also insurance. She basically did not know any answers and instead chose to read something repeatedly that really did not answer these simple basic questions. She then got annoyed when I pointed this out to her and asked if someone could get back to me with answers by saying that she had already answered my questions. She then had a poor attitude with me and showed clearly her annoyance with me. It was quite frustrating at this point so I decided to end this comical call. So I wasted my valuable time and got the worst impression of a doctor's office ever with this person. But perhaps they have so much business that they can have her behave this way? I mean really - at $350 consultation fee plus $175 thereafter that she said most insurance won't cover, I guess they are doing extremely well! They say you can judge a book by its cover and often, office staff can make or break your practice as good doctors know.

I was incorrectly billed for a follow-up visit instead of a physical exam. When I asked about a…read morerefund for the incorrect charges, my concerns were dismissed, and I was told the amount would be applied to a future visit. I explained that there was no guarantee I would return to this practice and requested that my money be refunded in the same manner and timeframe in which it was taken. The staff member "Jacquelyne Sorto" said I would have to wait at least 2 weeks for the billing department to issue my refund, in the most nasty, dismissive tone. During this interaction, she appeared more focused on discussing a TV show with her coworkers than addressing my billing issue. I later found out that she was able to void the transaction, but chose not to let me know. After being frustrated and coming to terms with the fact that I would no longer be going to this location, I went back to the front desk and asked for the billing department's number so I could resolve the situation on my own because I no longer trusted them to do the right thing. That is when she told me she voided the transaction. The fact that she did not inform me as soon as it was done, and that I had to request the billing department's number to get this information, made me lose all trust in this office. She was being intentionally spiteful and wanted to waste my time and money. Just utterly unprofessional, incompetent, and useless. What was most concerning was that during that same visit, I saw them put another patient through the same thing. They wanted to charge them for a physical and force him to put a card on file. The couple canceled their appointment and left the office because of the treatment they received, stating that no other primary care office in the area had behaved in this manner. I later saw them discussing the matter downstairs with a provider from the office, and we were all in agreement that it was one of the unprofessional healthcare experiences. Lastly, because I stood up for myself and asked to be treated fairly, they kept withholding information from me. The provider asked me to get some labs done. They conveniently kept me waiting instead of letting me know how the process was going (out of spite). I had to raise my voice before receiving any guidance. The vindictive attitude and poor customer service I experienced were enough to ensure I would never come back. Which is probably what they want, so they can spend their day chit-chatting on the clock. I am very disappointed about this whole experience. The standards at that office used to be higher, which is why I kept coming back when I was in town. I will review every bill I have received to ensure it aligns with my benefits package, and I will look for a new primary care office.
