Wildly unprofessional, waste of time and money. Referred from my PCP, after two appointments they wouldn't return phone calls or submissions on their own patient portal.

I had so much anxiety based on the google ratings which turned out to be untrue in my experience. The office staff were were very nice, professional, knowledgeable, accomodating and efficient. Dr. Ray and her assistant were the same. They were calm and patient, even though being extremely busy, she was very understanding without judging and I never felt rushed. The experience was fast, efficient and very comfortable.
