I was originally going to give a negative review due to the lack of knowledge this location gave me during my visits in regards to insurance coverage and co pays but Latasha has been STELLAR with her customer service and easy to reach. That is a great team member you all have! If you're reading this, thank you so much for your help and guidance, it is much appreciated.

One word Dietitian DONT DO IT! Paid a co-pay just for her to tell me to eat less carbs. Where's Ashton Kutcher I felt like I was being punked. Gave me no real info and no help. Never again! I could have brought a diet plan for all of this! I sure hope that money is going towards my deductible because what a waste of time and money. Hell I need a refund!

I've been trying for 3 days to get a call back for test results. All they keep saying is they will call you back today when I call in the morning. When I don't get a call back till the evening, I call back only for them to tell me they'll call you back tomorrow morning. If they can't figire out how to call to give test results, imagine how incompetent they are at other things

I was taking my daughter since she was a new born and everything was going well until one day she had to get a catheter done and Dr. Zaman didnt know what she was doing to my daughter during the process. Also they would always leave bruises on the spots they would give my daughter shots. Dont recommend! Yes we talked to the manager & we will no longer go there.

I do not appreciate the random and unsolicited spam phone calls to set me up with a medical group I have never heard of. Reported you to the FTC
