Dr. Beene was so pleasant. I love his personality & energy. He extracted a tooth of mine and I felt no pain. Instructions were clear and reasonable. Please see him. He's the best.

Dr Gloria pretty much just dismissed my symptoms and concerns. I would never recommend that kind of service to anyone needing medical help

Go elsewhere if able. I do not recommended nurse Paul. Recently moved so thought I'd find I local PCP. Went in for prescription medications and informed with specifics what I was taking. Got to pharmacy to find the wrong form of the medication was filled. Called the office and left a message informing him of the error. Days later, after no call back, I call back to find Paul had left a note on my chat saying I needed to schedule a new appointment even though the error was his. Left another message and never heard back. From the few times of seeing nurse Paul I have left 4 or 5 messages without

I would rather pull out my own tooth, than have to speak or deal with the receptionist here. Dr. Moreno is great, but this location is always running way behind and despite numerous complaints they do nothing about their rude staff. Im switching doctors ASAP. To the rude staff, it doesnt take much to be kind sis. It doesnt make your day better to be ugly or snippy to others.
