Jeffrey Wong NP is a robot on crack lacking all human emotion. He never makes eye contact or even looks up from his tablet. Very abrupt and rude. Accepts yes/no answers only regarding your most recent acute issue. Anything else requires a separate appointment.
I was never able to get an appointment with Dr Azam whom I requested to be my pcp. 
I called yesterday 02/06/25 to make an appt and was informed that I was no longer a patient there. No phonecall, no email, or snail mail warning me. Lupita the office mgr told me she'd call after my last visit to confirm my future appts would be with Dr Azam. No call. Physicians are required to notify pts of end of care, whether they're moving, practice closing, or no longer able to provide future care. 
0 stars - do not recommend.
