This office was recommended to me by chiropractor.  Had an appointment scheduled on 9/26/16 and Dr. Sullivan's office called me the day before my appointment to reschedule.   I was disappointed but agreed to reschedule for 10/14/16.  On 10/12/16 the office called me again to reschedule all the way out in November.  I told them that I have been dealing with excruciating pain and the receptionist didn't seem to care at all.  "These things happen."  Needless to say, if I could grade them even lower I would.  Dr. Sullivan's office does not care about their patients and the receptionist Kelsea was no help either.  I also missed two days of work for these scheduled appointments.  (For the record I was very polite, the office just didn't care.)
