In patients' words

"Never been treated so poorly from a physican! During the Q&A she rushed through the questions that I could barely gather my thoughts or answers."

Vitals review for Dr. Lucille Shore-Schein

"She seemed distracted by her smart watch which may have contributed to inaccurate after visit notes... I also felt like she had drawn conclusions before we even met."

Vitals review for Dr. Alisha Lakhani

"I am continuously having billing issues with your billing office. Insurance claims aren't properly being processed. The billing office nor the doctor's office follows up."
