    This location got me in and out and also got my blood work done fairly quickly. It took me longer…read morethan I would have liked to get paperwork back from the medical professional but that was just because I was in a rush. Overall. I would recommend this location and was happy with the service when I was there. I would like to note a lot of the interaction I had was over the phone due to needing to be out of state after being seen

    At this point, I would advise people to go elsewhere. I've…read morebeen a patient with them, and up until this point, I've been generally satisfied with their service. However, I ran into a major issue recently that left me feeling extremely disappointed and unheard. I was told that I could not receive even a single additional month of medication unless I physically came in for another appointment, despite informing them that I'm in the process of establishing a new PCP. It seems completely unreasonable that, after explaining this, they would refuse to offer any flexibility or assist in a timely manner. What really upset me was the lack of empathy or understanding. It felt like the company's policy mattered more than the actual well-being of their patients. I've been a loyal customer for a while, and a little flexibility in this situation would have gone a long way in maintaining my trust and continued business. In an age where patient care should be the priority, this experience was both frustrating and disappointing. I understand the importance of following procedures, but when it comes to patient health, especially in transitionary periods like this, a bit of compassion and common sense should be part of the equation. I really hope they rethink this policy moving forward, because their current approach certainly leaves much to be desired.

    I am a patient at this clinic and generally have positive experiences with my doctor, whom I…read morerespect and trust. However, I recently had a phone call with a member of the chronic care team that I found unprofessional and upsetting. The call was intended to be a routine health check-in, but the conversation quickly became judgmental and dismissive regarding my circumstances. I explained that I had moved an extended distance due to factors outside of my control, which has made it more difficult to access specialists. Instead of focusing on my care or offering solutions, I was told that people should make housing decisions based on proximity to medical care. This felt like blame rather than support. I also discussed that I sometimes use AI tools to help me organize health-related information and prepare questions for my doctor so I can better advocate for myself. I was told that using AI in this way is "dangerous," without any meaningful explanation or discussion, which felt dismissive rather than informative or professional. Most concerning, the conversation included an unsolicited reference to religion (specifically God) that was not relevant to my medical care. I immediately made it clear that I do not share those beliefs and did not wish to discuss religion in a healthcare context. Instead of acknowledging this boundary, the nurse doubled down, scoffed in response and stated "well, that's your belief". I found this highly inappropriate and disrespectful in a medical setting, particularly during a health-related call where religion had no relevance. Overall, the tone of the interaction felt condescending and dismissive rather than supportive or patient-centered. I left the call feeling talked down to rather than listened to. I want to be clear that this feedback is not about my physician, who I continue to trust and appreciate. It is specifically about this interaction with the chronic care staff member, which did not reflect the standard of care I expect from the practice.

    I went to see Dr. Dalton to continue ketamine for headaches in Lubbock as i just moved here from…read moreSpring TX and needed somewhere to continue them. He told me a number of things that just simply were not true in our initial appointment to establish care. He claimed he could cure my endometriosis with supplements and a vegan diet. Endometriosis cannot be "cured" like that. He also told me that he could cure my anxiety and depression with supplements. I'm sure supplements wouldn't hurt but it's not going to cure anything. He also told me that my covid shot gave me a 1,100 more percent chance of having a stroke and a 1,400 percent chance of developing cancer. He said that I would need to reverse the covid shot, and the anecdote was nicotine and that the government has been lying to us that nicotine isn't actually addictive. He also made a rude comment about my old self harm scars saying, and I quote, "oh you're a cutter huh". I understand doctors need to ask questions like that but the manner in which he asked it was very rude. He recommended me a book debunking things like 9/11, the covid vaccination, and the assassination of JFK. He recommended a podcast that was 2 and a half hours long debunking the covid vaccine and it's "myths". He also told me the flu shot was harming me. Maybe it's not really doing all we think it is, but it's definitely not harming me. He also went on a rant about how estrogen is in everything and it's affecting everyone immensely. He said, quote, "if you want to give a man titties then just have him drink a glass of milk a day". Now, I don't deny things we use everyday have estrogen in them but not that much. All in all, I went to get my headache treated with ketamine, the only thing that's worked for my headaches, and he spewed a bunch of nonsense the whole appointment, and fully expects me, a 19 year old girl to go on nicotine, for years. Dr. Dalton is not a doctor he's a full time conspiracy theorist.
