On July 31, 2026, I visited this location, and the only friendly and professional person I…read moreencountered was the security guard downstairs.
When I arrived on the second floor, the wait time was excessive. Even more concerning was the dismissive attitude and lack of professionalism from the front desk staff. At one point, I needed assistance, but the front desk employee was engaged in what appeared to be a personal phone call. Instead of acknowledging me professionally, she simply held up her finger, signaling for me to wait while she continued her personal conversation. I found this to be extremely disrespectful and inappropriate during work hours, especially while patients were waiting to be helped.
I was then directed to the third floor, where I witnessed a young man and woman behind the reception desk discussing a previous patient. They were also talking about a woman who was currently in the waiting room, commenting on how angry she was and laughing about the situation. This behavior was highly inappropriate, unprofessional, and disrespectful. I intend to report this incident to their manager or supervisor.
I also overheard the young man answer the telephone by saying, "So what is it that you want?" That was an extremely rude and unprofessional way to speak to someone seeking assistance.
Another serious concern was the changing area. I was directed to a changing room that had a very strong, unpleasant odor. It gave the impression that it had not been properly cleaned or sanitized after the previous patient. Changing and examination rooms should be cleaned and sanitized between every patient to maintain a safe, hygienic, and comfortable environment.
As a woman, I was also very uncomfortable being expected to change in a room that was open and located near a waiting area where men were present. There appeared to be little to no separation to protect a patient's privacy while changing. I do not understand why there is not a private, enclosed changing area, especially in a medical facility where patient dignity and privacy should be a priority. No patient should feel exposed or uncomfortable while preparing for a medical procedure.
The two employees appeared to be more interested in socializing and laughing than providing quality patient care and customer service.
I am also concerned that discussing patients where others in the waiting area could overhear may constitute a violation of patient privacy. While I cannot determine whether protected health information was disclosed, staff should not be discussing patients in public areas where conversations can be overheard.
Overall, this was one of the most unprofessional healthcare experiences I have had. Between the excessive wait time, the disrespectful attitudes, staff taking personal phone calls instead of assisting patients, inappropriate conversations about patients, the lack of cleanliness, and the inadequate privacy for patients changing clothes, it appeared there was an overall lack of care, concern, and respect for patients. I hope management takes this complaint seriously, investigates the conduct of the staff involved, addresses the cleanliness and privacy concerns, and provides additional training to ensure all patients are treated with professionalism, dignity, confidentiality, and respect.
