Common complaints
- Long wait times when calling the office for questions
- Communication issues with staff, specifically regarding lab orders
"Dr. Sood is one of my best doctors he explains everything clearly answers your questions before you can ask them. He makes you feel so comfortable that he actually is part of your team. My one star is his staff and office. If you call in for a question plan to spend at least 25 plus minutes waiting for someone to answer the phone. Staff was supposed to order fasting blood work... and they had no record of orders."
