Absolutely unprofessional office and clearly non-communicating professionals. Our first poor experience was with Emily who took our med info and verified benefits, claiming we would be scheduled w Dr Rivas, as she would call to schedule us herself. After a week, we called again to schedule and Emily was no longer w the center. A new receptionist, Amber, informed us that Dr Rivas was no longer taking patients.
