This practice was recommended to me by 2 patients previously seen there. They had a great…read moreexperience. I tried to be seen in this office. Even though I didn't get to see the Dr., I still felt it was important to write this review as a physician's office staff is also greatly important to a patient's care. I called on Monday to try and make an appointment. I followed the prompts for a new patient wanting to make an appointment and left a message, giving them the information they wanted and a short history of my symptoms and medical history. By late morning Wednesday, I had not heard back yet and decided to call again repeating the same scenario. By Friday morning I still had not heard back from the office. I called again and chose a different prompt so I could speak with someone. I was very courteous; I understand that offices can get busy, maybe the scheduler had been sick or on vacation, etc. After sharing with the woman who answered the phone that I was wanting to make an appointment but hadn't been able to, she asked to put me on hold. 5 mins later, another woman answered and asked how she could help. I shared the name of the woman who was already helping me and she said, I know, she asked me to help you. So, I asked her if I could make an appointment. She said she couldn't do that, but took my last name and let me know that the scheduler would get back to me. She didn't know when that would be and we ended the call. 5.5 hours later I finally got a call from the scheduler only for her to say that they don't see patients who have previously been in a car accident. I thought maybe she confused me with someone else. I was not in a recent accident, there was no lawsuit or workman's comp case so I shared again that it was a closed thing and it happened over 4 years ago. She repeated, "it's our office policy that we don't see patients who have been in any car accident no matter when." When I said "OK. Do you mind me asking why? I've just never heard of this." She said "sure, it's just our policy." She had this information for a week. A week longer I now have to wait to seek treatment. I'm most frustrated with how discourteous they were and unapologetic for their lack of care and waste of my time and efforts. I'm also dumbfounded on this policy of not treating patients who have, at one point in their medical history, been in a car accident. It's not a recent injury with possibility of lawsuit or workman's comp, so what do they care? I could bet that a good majority of their clients have a physical trauma of some sort in their patient history. This boarders on discrimination and speaks volumes of this office to me and the care I am seeking. I'm happy to take my business elsewhere.

I can't thank Dr Cathy enough! She is the ONLY medical professional who has been able to properly…read moreidentify the problem and help me out of the excruciating pain that I've experienced in the last few weeks. I tried everything to find healing and relief. The ortho doctor gave me a steroid shot. It didn't help. The PT did dry needling and a little massage. It didn't help. I went for two massages. Another chiropractor made a few adjustments that brought NO relief and actually misdiagnosed my pain. I used a massage gun. heat packs, ice packs, Naproxen, muscle relaxants. Nothing worked. But when I saw Dr Cathy I saw a level of determination to heal me that I'd not experienced elsewhere. I witnessed a professional that really understands the body and its mechanics. She worked every angle to get me relief. She didn't give up and I am now pain free! Thank you, Dr Cathy! You are a huge blessing to me!

Nobody likes to have pain, but it is nice when you come into an office that is clean with pleasant people and faces that seem happy to see you. After having an x-ray of my foot performed related to my complaint I very quickly saw Dr. Albert Gillespy and he reassured me of what was going on. The visit was quick efficient and always a pleasure to see everybody. What a great office and staff.
