- Perceived lack of conclusive results from recurring diagnostic tests
"First of, the front office staff are just useless. No one seems to know anything. Next, the person who is in charge of obtaining patients medical records to be faxed to another doctors office - is incompetent."
— Anonymous patient review on beautihost.com"The doctor was very rude and was more concerned about getting through every patient as quickly as possible instead of giving a quality evaluation."
