In patients' words

"The office staff and check in nurse was gr8, the trouble i had was with Dr.Sugihara... he was very RUDE."

Birdeye review

"It is impossible to reach them. They don't return phone calls they don't return website messages. I had to literally drive down to the office to get a response about my prescriptions."

Loc8NearMe review

"Literally the worst clinic I've ever experienced. Do not try and establish here for primary care. It's a nightmare and you probably won't be seen for an entire year."

Yahoo Local review
