Doctor.com Review

"The doctors are good and the staff are friendly but they really need more help with answering the phone. I have called at several different times of the day and no one ever picks up... It’s ridiculous."

LocalityBiz Review

"The front office staff are extremely rude and make all interactions feel like a bother. The worst, and most unacceptable part, is I often run out of medication."
