Forgot with all that is going on in my body from this flu to call and cancel yesterday. I expected some charge but $100 while we are all struggling and can't work due to this illness is ridiculous. But I know that's business and will pay it but God please help the front desk to have a more smpathic tone and kind approach when they talk to people. Losing all your business and patients due to rude receptionist is scary. Word of mouth and how you treat people is everything. I will not be back and it's not the fee! it's her quick, rude and abrupt behavior. God bless y'all and hopefully she gets training

Rude office! Kicked my 15yold out of the office for me inquiring about a bill. The front office said I was rude and I was not. I confronted the same office staff, and she hung up on me after she got her office manager to write us a letter releasing our whole family. I wrote them back and reported them to medicaid.

So glad we found this clinic. The doctors listen and take time to read your history and results from specialists. Everyone in our family has used this clinic.

I've only been there once and will not be back. I saw a Male provider and over heard him discussing another patient in a very derogatory manner. I was not impressed with his bedside manner and found him extremely rude.
