I called to schedule appointment and the women i spoke to who answered the phone would hardly 
let me speak when i was trying to explain i had an referral from Dr. Henderson, also had an MRI disk, and report. She did not care!!!! She was so snappy about every question and acted like she did not want to hear what i had to say. . She needs to be fired. I am going somewhere else. Have some manners...Dr. Saiz you need to be aware of how your staff treats people. So unnecessary!!
