This Doctor had her staff call me 1 hour before my appointment to cancel and reschedule to 11/26/2025. The staff called me again 11/25/2025 at 2:50pm less than 24hrs before my next appointment and stated they needed to reschedule for the same reason they provided last time. Literally sent me a copy and paste email from the last reschedule! I will not recommend!
