I cant even leave a message so please cancel my appointment for tomorrow February 3, I am not impressed with the doctors here. I guess if youre not a spur they dont treat you well. My uncle is a retired doctor And Im supposed to see Dr. Stevens, how reviews are not very good and from what they say she does not take any phone calls. My uncle who was the doctor took every phone call. I will go see a doctor it has better reviews.

I think Dr. Curtis is great on explaining things and taking care his patients. However, his staff are terrible especially the woman ROXANNE. ROXANNE is rude, she hung up the phone on me several times when I finally get her on the phone. They never answer the phone or return anyone calls. ROXANNE manager is no better than her. This is the worst experience and customer service I've ever had. The other staffs are very helpful, except Dr. Curtis staff. So terrible I have been calling all week to make a payment I cannot get anyone to answer my calls to make the payment.

My experience at SMASA was great, as was the previous visit, and both were with Dr. Santa Maria. Not only does he make you feel comfortable and at ease, but he is very knowledgeable. He is also great at communicating all the possible options of treatment that would best work for you, and also last but not least, the staff was very helpful as well!
