Yes, my name is (PHI removed). First of all, I wasn't understanding how to do this. I wasn't paying much attention. I'm kind of busy. But honestly, the office was good. They got the appointment right away. They're very excellent in taking care of things like that. And the whole experience was very good. So thank you.

Appreciate the Nurses

Very knowledgeable
April 28, 2026
What I want to tell them is what they did wrong. The doctor needs to have a little more communication and patience with patients so there's a better understanding of the health problem for which one is going to see him. That's all.

Wonderful as always...
December 03, 2025
Overall, the service was good when it came to getting in and seeing the doctor. That was quick. I just didn't appreciate the doctor in his, how he reacted to me when I told him that I'd used drugs in the past. I think, I feel like he, he kind of judged me and automatically wrote me off about other concerns because I was a drug addict and I didn't appreciate it.

I'm not happy with the doctors response to my concerns about my acid reflux issues, he is prescribing me omeprazole & then tells me don't take it every day because it will cause osteoporosis , if I don't take it every day I get severe heartburn then he told me to take Tums on the days between until the omeprazole starts to work again with no other options. I have another appointment with him and I'm going to bring this up again with him hopefully there will be a better remedy for my issues. Maybe like sending me to a Gastronom doctor
