They never answer their phone, force you to leave a message, then don't call you back. No wonder their website says "walk ins welcome." That's apparently the only way to get ahold of this place.

OK, I waited a week to "count to ten", before I posted a review, in my best effort to be fair, and not make an angry review, in haste. I have used SSM, at 40/270 before, and that is the basis for my comparison. Everything went wrong. I feel as though this doctor is all about the money, and believe I was taken for a ride. Considering that I spent close to $300 on this appointment, which was a two-part visit, one for an overall check and one for a specific problem near one of my eyes. It took the doc less than a minute (yes, less than a minute) to look at my eye and say "This appears to be such

Do not go here!!! I feel so bad for my son I could cry. Not only do they not answer the phone ever, but both of my Kids have gone here 2-3 different times to get warts removed (not to mention paying 100 each kid every time for the deposit) to still have all there warts. My son is scared in multiple different spots probably for the rest of his life . It looks horrible and his warts are STILL there. We are currently going somewhere else.
