They wont be my main office anymore! All about the money and not about getting the patient in as soon as possible. I have a doctor here and the front desk lady told me to go into urgent care so I can get in sooner because my problem sounds serious and I should get it checked out sooner than Columbus medical center can get me in. Do not recommend especially if you want to get in within the same week. GO TO COLUMBUS FAMILY AND PRACTICE

Avoid setting appointments they overcharge I was there for only ten minutes did not receive no medication or advice was charged over $100 even with insurance. Was shocked about the amount they charge. I waited for the doctor for about an hour and a half and he only told me to stop smoking thats it ! Absolute nonsense avoid this place at any costs they will overcharge you on the deductible i 100% guarantee you. They took hours just to come into the room and tell me stop smoking then bye, was completely shocked avoid making appointments here and please take this advice if you wanna save yourself

I am a disabled Veteran and my medical service was cut off by the office manager. She seems to have an attitude about changing the channel on the TV, when I called her out on it she cut my medical service off. I am back at the VA and will not go back. My doctor will get 5 stars, the office personal get 1 star

If I could give them a zero I would. Avoid this place, the doctors are clueless. I regret ever deciding to make this my main physician, gratefully that is a problem I can fix. Avoid avoid avoid. All they care about is the money. Dr. Discoe is the worst of them. I asked to talk to the facility manager, but she was busy that day and they told me she would contact me, which she never did. I've already found another provider. If you're looking, try out Columbus Family Practice.
