Nurse is rude with attitude.  Dr has poor bedside manner and treats patients like children.  Won't be going back - seeking care elsewhere.  Can't make appt as no one answers phones - nurse doesn't send in paperwork for further testing - has patient do it and then patient can't reach anyone to get this done.  Worst experience ever.  Oh and Dr lied on his dictation notes on my visit as I heard what he was saying.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2017-02-24

Condescending "know it all".  Will be seeking care elsewhere.  Staff is rude and has attitude immediately upon entering exam room.  Worst experience I have ever had.  The group he belongs to is horrible.  Spent over 50 minutes on phone trying to get someone to schedule test appt.  NO ONE could help me.  Patient should NOT have to schedule appt for further testing as it is doctor/nurse responsibility.  Never going back that's for sure!!!!!
