They called me to reschedule my sons appointment. Then they gave me an appointment for 12:30. I got there by 12:30 and rudely the front desk lady left me and my 7 months old son outside saying that its lunch time and to come back at 1pm. Like I dont have to go to work.
Dr. Salma is an amazing doctor but their staff is always incredibly rude and careless.

Most unprofessional doctors office Ive ever been to.
1) almost impossible to get a hold of them. Even the pharmacist could not get a hold of them so they can dispatch a medicine my baby needed.
2) nurses and Dr talk to you with an attitude like its a bother for them to do their job.
3) took our 5 month baby due to being severely sick they give us an appt so they can see him, Dr takes a mucus sample to determine what kind of virus and/or bacteria he has and tell me the result will take 48 hrs. I called them after 72 hrs and they tell me I have to wait 5 days I called again they tell me

I gave a 5 star rating but changed It to a 3. Dr. Elfaki is a great, amiable, personable doctor. Great with kids and LISTENS to her patients and parents while taking time with them. My frustration is the back office who screw up med refills and don't pick up the doggone phone. You can leave a 100 messages and 90% of the time you will NOT get a call or email back. We just moved and need the last refill for my son. Refill never took place and now I am in a new county with no ADHD meds fir my son!!! Called to get his immunization updated and again no call returned and no immunization form emailed

Dr is an amazing person, she is caring, down to earth, gives you all the time in the world to express your concerns and explains every detail. It is unfortunate to say that some of her staff brings the quality of her job down. They never pick up the phone, I've spent days trying to reach them, their billing is horrible, they keep making mistakes with the billing and when you ask for an explanation they get mad and the rudeness is unexplainable. I had the most horrible experience with one of the staff members and will never go back. Like I said at the beginning, she is a great doctor but she is
