Patient Reviews
Feb 19, 2026
The wife and I have been to this Dr several times and she has yet to put a Stethoscope on my wife or I. Never checked reflexes, or anything. The staff here is horrible. Always have huge problems getting medicine refilled because of staff, I assume. We'll never go back to this practice at all.
