"The staff here is incredible!! They show how much they clearly care for their patients. The receptionists, medical assistants, NPs, physicians, and schedulers are all so friendly and helpful."
— Dr. Racheleidelman.com review summary"I believe 7 hours with not yet seeing a doctor is unreasonable. Now their must have been 100 or more patients. So I believe it was due to under staff."
— Birdeye patient review"Made an appointment two months in advance because that was the earliest they could get me in. Two days until my appt and they call saying they have to reschedule and the earliest opening is in may (3 months from now). Very frustrating and staff seem like they could care less."
