    Very good experience here today. The receptionist was extremely friendly. The service was fast. We…read moredid make an appointment online for 1 PM and waited approximately 25 minutes in the lobby and we're called back. The nurse practitioner was good and very efficient. He gave us quick results and got us out of there would definitely come back.

    While the physical locations for this program are efficient, the telemedicine services and…read moreadministrative communication have been completely unacceptable. I joined specifically because of the advertised assistance with the Prior Authorization (PA) process, but a total lack of coordination between departments has resulted in a four-month delay. I have been attempting to navigate the PA process since March 2026, and despite qualifying and providing all required documentation, I have encountered the following issues: - Conflicting Information: Staff members repeatedly provide contradictory information regarding operating hours. I have been directed to call on weekdays only to be told the department only works weekends, and vice-versa. - Lack of Documentation: Despite multiple assurances that my records were received, staff recently claimed there is no record of my previous calls or documentation. - Misleading Claims: Staff confirmed a new PA was submitted in June 2026, yet my insurance provider maintains no request has been received since a denial in April 2026. That April denial was reportedly due to the office's failure to include the required documentation. - Poor Communication: My attempts to follow up are frequently met with dismissive attitudes from staff, even though I am strictly following the instructions provided to me. The administrative failures of this program have made it impossible to access the services I qualify for. I would caution others to be prepared for significant delays and a lack of accountability regarding insurance authorizations.

    I have been going here for a while now. Dr. GILLI's staff is amazing!!!! Either text or email and…read moreit is taken care of promptly. Dr. Gilli will tell you like it is. No nonsense. So if you don't like hearing the truth about your care, find another doctor to patronize you.

    Tracy will prescribe multiple drugs and not know side effects. She was condescending from the 1st…read morevisit but I thought it was quirky. In my third visit with her, today, I had to literally walk out and won't be back! I asked other staff if she was just having a bad day. So consistently condescending but today she was actually rude. I asked about side effects of a particular drug she stated no one had ever complained to her before and dismissed my question. Then when I asked her to clarify something she got irritated with me and started with more condescension. If you don't agree with her she will belittle you into thinking you're the one that's wrong rather than explaining like most doctors! No thanks! Update: 04/15/26 - I spoke with Dr Gilli on the phone and it's seems they are somewhat flippant and unapologetic in their attitude towards the situation. I don't feel comfortable with this response that she "always" treats patients with respect after I conveyed the opposite in a professional manner over the phone. This was damage control gone wrong imo. Black box warnings are serious and it's too bad this Dr. doesn't care to make any changes as she is a 25 year employees with the company. He's got her back regardless. I appreciate the call back but it's clear his attitude is just like hers. They don't care.
