Report
Well when we first came the doctor was great however she didn't make copies of my son paper work from the NICU and when he was to have his one month check up they cancel his appointment the day of because of insurance. We told them we'll we will pay and they said no we can't do that because he has insurance. Umm okay well thanks alot. Hopefully everyone else has a better experience.
