My kids got the 1st dose of Covid Vaccine Dec 2021. The nurse and admin was unprofessional and lack of clarity. We missed the 2nd dose, and I had to find different places for the kids... I will not visit here anymore.

I have used this clinic for over 10 years and I am very happy with the services for my family and me. Today was my worst experience, but I don't want to hurt the 5-star rating in spite of Dr. Green. Today I had my first visit with the orthopedic specialist Dr. Alysia Green. I arrived at 8:30 for a 9:00am appointment, I was informed that "she wasn't here yet at 8:55. When she showed up at 9:21, she told me she "only had time to look at one thing and I should [pick the one that hurts the most]. I was supposed to be evaluated for 3 issues and I've gone through all the hoops with other providers,
