I had an appointment scheduled and, due to heavy traffic caused by an accident, I knew I would be a…read morefew minutes late. I called ahead to notify the office. I ultimately arrived 8 minutes late--well within the 10-minute grace period they state they allow. There were no other patients in the waiting room, and the front desk confirmed there were no additional appointments scheduled. Despite this, I was refused care. This was particularly concerning given that the appointment was for a pre-cancerous spot that required attention. I found the decision to turn me away unnecessarily rigid and lacking compassion. While I was offered appointments the following day, I chose instead to seek a new provider who demonstrates greater care and consideration for their patients.

I didn't ask her age, but from her credentials, this beautiful young lady is 30 something. I appreciate somebody that enjoys their work. I can't say enough about the practice, all beautiful young ladies, willing to help. I drive 1&1/2 hours in horrible traffic, but it's worth it. Yep, I'm a 72 y.o. failing health old man, but I know dedication when I see it.

Second, I was charged for a full-body check, (which was not done),and I asked her to go over a second concern to talk about it, but she just said oh well go over it next time, and rushed out of the room leaving me confused.

I've gone there a couple times for Botox and also sclerotherapy (which didn't work). At my Botox…read moreappt last April I showed her my veins and she said for sure it would work. Then the following month in May at my appt she says actually my veins were too tiny and they didn't have a small enough needle but that she'd try anyway and if it didn't work they wouldn't charge me. Well it didn't work and I actually had a terrible experience the next day because I wasn't informed of adverse reactions to certain supplements I was taking at the time. I called the office and they never returned my call. Instead I spoke with a very helpful doctor at Sunshine Urgent Care. I still went back in November for another Botox appt and paid in full as I always do for my Botox appts. A year later as of this review I open my mailbox and have an outstanding balance for 3 visits from last year in April, May and November!??? Are you serious?! I've always had a pleasant experience with the nurses and front desk but when you can't trust their billing team, you can't be trusted. I called their billing, spoke to someone for about 20 minutes who confirmed I was right about my November appt and already paid in full for my Botox. However he said I still owed for April and May even though the NP herself said I wouldn't be charged if the sclerotherapy didn't work since their needle was too big. Which really she should have known at my April appt instead of putting me through that agony and literally dying feeling the next day because I took supplements that interacted with it. That alone in itself was negligent.
