The first time, they didn't send in all my prescriptions and also sent them to the wrong pharmacy. Then, today, they wanted to play the blame game, telling me I had scheduled for an in-person appointment today, even though all my phone calls are recorded and I have proof that it was not. It was a telehealth appointment. Apparently, they tried… calling me yesterday to SWITCH me to an in-person appointment, but I did not answer because I was working, and they didn't leave a voicemail. Instead, I specifically took off work today for this appointment, waited by the phone, and no one ever called

Dr. Johnson is very caring and easy to talk too. she has been my primary physician for several years. You need a physician that listens and Dr. Jackson is that and she's very thorough. I couldn't ask for a better doctor to trust with my health/life. Thanks Dr. Johnson.
