Report
I called this practice 9 times over a 2 week period in an attempt to schedule a new patient visit (their website states they are accepting new patients). They NEVER answer the phone and half the time the call will not even connect. I left messages on 4 occasions and received a call back once at a time I was unavailable to take it with no message left. I have given up and will attempt to connect with a more responsive practice. Giving 2 stars with the benefit of the doubt that their actual medical care has to be somewhat better than the admin side of the business.

Report
This office does not call their patients for test results. When I sent them an email, asking them why, they responded by email stating, "Our office reaches out to patients with any abnormalities in their testings." I emailed them back and asked what if reaching out to patients with test abnormalities gets overlooked? After a couple of days, I did not get a response, so I emailed the same question again. Two days after that, I received a certified letter from them, telling me to find a new doctor. When I asked about receiving a refill for meds, they would only give me a 30-day supply

I've read some bad reviews here and I felt that with each person's relationship with their doc is unique varies a lot. At first this doctor's office really connected to me but I was fooled. This place is setup like a nurse managed healthcare office. I personally have found the nurses to be good until they are not. Only ok for the healthy person. However if you have a cronic illness or are elderly this place is NOT for you. My mother had dimentia and while she was starting to deteriorate and they treated her in a repulsive way. They belittled, accused, disrespected, and ripped her dignity away.

Report
It took me two years to realize why Dr. Fierro is always accepting new patients, because some patients simply dont stick with the practice, and leave, for a number of reasons. First of all, he runs his practice strictly like a business. Dr Fierro says hello to you when you first become a patient, and after that, you never interact with him again. Secondly, you wont get a warm and fuzzy feeling walking in there. The money meter starts running the second you walk in, and if your office visit goes beyond ten minutes, cha-Ching. Lastly, with the exception of the PAs and NPs
