UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL POST WHICH FOLLOWS. This place has not had more than a 2 star review in two years. Crooked in with Big Pharma Pill Mill. Call the Feds for a full investigation and close it down for good. Original post after my initial post that was pulled down as follows: I personally had a very poor experience. Definitely in with "Big Pharma". More interested in pushing heavy doses of medications verse properly treating their patients. Basically a pill mill. Hopefully this gets investigated sooner than later. Ironically I posted this review about two years ago. I was reviewing my Google

I've been trying for over a month now to get a simple prescription refill for a common Anti-Depressant. My pharmacy says I need to call the prescriber (CPC) and I can't get through to anyone at any office. I've left my information and prescription refill needs through their automated phone menu as directed several times. And yet I never received any response - either from my Pharmacy or CPC. Completely unacceptable! It's obvious they have no care at all for their patients and only interested in making as much money as possible! Go anywhere else!

Been trying to get in touch with a psychiatrist for almost two months, I get a run around on the phone and no calls back every time. According to the front desk, the psychiatrists and the front desk don't communicate at all so there is no way to tell what is going on with them. Don't waste your time, you will not get in touch with a psychiatrist no matter what you do. They give nothing but canned responses and play ring around the rosey on the telephone each and every time you call. It's now been more than two months and I can't speak to a psychiatrist no matter what I do. If I could put multiple

Megan Klein has been a wonderful provider for my teenager. She is respectful, thoughtful, and engaging. Its not easy to get a depressed 14 year old to open up but she has succeeded! The office staff seems a bit overwhelmed at times, but are still helpful and I can tell they are doing their best during this challenging time. I can't recommend Megan highly enough. She's a wonderful provider and we feel lucky to have her on our team.

My original doctor left the practice and i got stuck with renee who repeatedly called the wrong number to contact me and would not work with me on how to get ahold of me as where I live has no service. Her last message was giving me an attitude and then kept listing me as missing appointments. I ended up being discharged and they hung up on me. Now i have no way to get my much needed medication and i do not want to continue attempting to work with these people.

After years of going to doctors and licensed professionals from this group, I feel like it was more time wasted than well spent. My most poignant memory was from Candace OBrien to whom I mentioned concerns about a med she prescribed that my local pharmacist brought up, and her response was and I quote That is a load of happy horse (expletive). She then proceeded to say that if I was uncomfortable with her choices, I could look for someone else. And sure enough thats what I did. Mahmoud and his son Shariff are at least courteous and up front all things considered, but I still feel that
