    This is a true Health and Wellness medical office. The minute I walked in I was greeted with…read morewarmth, kindness and caring by the staff. Dr. Duda is an extremely caring, experienced, knowledgeable Physician. He listens to you and what your needs and goals are, and will definitely encourage and facilitate your holistic goals for your health and well-being. He will encourage and help you to help yourself with lifestyle choices rather than just pulling out his prescription pad. This approach requires his time, expertise, attention and careful thought - about you as an individual - and what would serve YOU best. He is very open and supportive of holistic practices and bio identical's. Dr. Duda's staff is as extraordinary as he is: warm, kind, efficient, professional, and fun. Manager Rose Mary, medical assistant Kim, Rebecca, Gema, Anna, Gina all were incredibly welcoming, helpful and genuine. To be completely honest, I felt a strong spirit of grace in that office and flowing through each person I met. I pray they continue blessing the community with their goodness and professional excellence.

    I was debating whether to post a review, and decided to go forward. I know these reviews would have…read morehelped me years ago when choosing a doctor. Years ago I would have rated Dindot 3 stars. After my last visit I've changed my mind. I first saw Dindot back in 2013. I had post eclampsia which I was concerned would lead to high B.P. Permanently. I had lab done and found out I had 2 gene mutations (MTHFR) She only stated that I had an issue absorbing folic acid properly. (She was wrong I would come to find out!) I asked her if these could be related to my 1st pregnancy which resulted in cystic hygroma. She had no idea and googled it. I went home and researched. I did find out later that I was correct in my concern. 2 years later I found a Integrative Doctor (Dr. Llorente) who ran more extensive tests on me and informed me I needed pure folate not folic acid! Dr. Llorente also told me my pregnancy was related to my gene mutations, as well as my post eclampsia, and anxiety. Going back to my initial visits with Dindot...she switched from a private practice to a membership service that charges a monthly fee. I unfortunately had to cancel shortly after. A few years later after seeing another awful internist who was covered by my insurance...or so I thought!( see other review on Prattes, who prescribed meds that made my hair fall out!) I returned to Dindot. I was going through severe anxiety and was willing to go on anxiety medication which she decided would be lexapro. After looking over my labs from an integrative Doctor I had been seeing, she criticized what the doctor had tested me for(Ferritin, cortisol levels, adrenals, Vit. D, iodine among a few others). She stated adrenal fatigue didn't exist. She prescribed 5mg of lexapro and told me to start with 2.5 and slowly titrate up after a week to 5. She also told me to take xanex as needed. Again, after I left I researched the heck out of adrenal fatigue, lexapro, etc. Once again I read conflicting stories. I researched more over the course of a few weeks and came to conclusion that lexapro was making me feel worse! I was also concerned about my already existing hair loss from the original meds I was on (trazodone) and I shared this concern with her. I felt as though she was making me feel like I was crazy. I was constantly crying over my hair loss, feeling overwhelmed by my recent move, my son had croup and I was doing a big move, and caring for my son by myself. How would you feel going through this? On top of loosing clumps of hair. Her response was that it was my anxiety causing me to act this way. I decided to stop taking the lexapro as I sat in her office. She was feigning being understanding about my decision. I say feigning because here response shortly after was "you know you can have a panic attack and start back where you were when I saw you! If you're not going to take lexapro you'll have to just take xanex then!!" What happened to your hippocratic oath?! Needless to say I made a decision to get rid of this doctor. She is not open minded to or educated in integrative medicine. I don't understand how one can be against something they know NOTHING about. After having viewed Dr. Rostenbergs YouTube video "Adrenal fatigue-how to beat and treat the effects of stress." I believe adrenal fatigue exists!

    I am in the process of changing doctors and found Dr. Chang my list of approved doctors. Her…read moreoffice would be very convenient for me so I called to find out her availability. I was told that, while she was accepting new patients and that I could sign on with her, she would not be able to see me until February. Thinking this provision was related to general physicals, I thought this would be something I could work with - we're coming into the holiday season and a physical is not something I would normally schedule right now anyway. My issues with this office came when I asked about non-anticipated issues, i.e., sickness, injury, etc. It was explained to me by the front office person that took my call that they would be able to refer me to an urgent care clinic in these instances. I thought this a bit odd and was sure that there was some sort of disconnect in our conversation. Accordingly, I asked to speak to the office manager to insure clarity. After speaking with the manager, it was confirmed that - sure enough - if I were experiencing anything that would warrant seeing a doctor that I would not be seen by the doctor but that the office would be happy to refer me to an urgent care clinic. I tried to explain - from an patient's perspective - why I thought this sent the wrong message to the public and was quickly shot down by the woman on the phone and was told if I had a problem that I could contact my insurance company and take it up with them. In the other two reviews for Dr. Chang, she's described as compassionate and a great listener. The policy she has in effect here contradict these statement quite dramatically. In fact, for a doctor's office to say they are willing to take on patients but not see them for three months says to me they are looking to grab up any patients just to build a practice. Moreover for an office manager to quickly cast a patient's concerns aside and suggest he/she takes it up with the insurance firm tells me the office will not be willing to deal with issues as they may arise with a patient. "Patient" and "compassionate" seem to be adjectives that do not belong at all with this office.

    Staff is very friendly. Dr. Chang is very knowledgeable and dedicated to her patients.read more

They were able to electronically send over prescriptions and called me back right away with any questions or appointment adjustments. Dr. O'Connor is a very educated doctor. She knows endocrinology well and was able to answer every single question I had. (I had a lot as my thyroid dysfunction was something new to me.) She took her time during my examinations and explained everything going on step by step during the ultrasounds. I have seen her multiple times over the past year and couldn't be more happy with any other doctor and their staff.

    I had an appointment set for 1:30. I arrived a little early and filled out the typical sheets of…read morepaper, most of which are superfluous. As I arrived, a gentleman stepped out of the back of the office claiming he'd been there over an hour and hadn't been seen. I didn't pay much attention until I'd sat in the waiting room over 45 minutes, finally asking status and saying they're 45 minutes past my appointment time. The desk lady (think Monique?) was extremely curt and said she had no clue. I pressed asking her to check with a nurse in the back to give me some idea, but was told she wouldn't do that and it could be a while still. After pressing a few more times she finally admitted the doctor was in with a patient and still had another new patient to see before me...so it could still be an hour. An hour...after being already 45 minutes late? I asked if she had my phone number, she said yes, so I said I'd go run an errand or two and text me when they're getting close. She claimed she could not text, to which I replied you're welcome to call me or send an email. Desk lady was having none of it and told me she's "not going to do that". I tried reasoning with her saying it's extremely unprofessional to be that far behind and to not give other appointment patients a heads up, using analogies of dinner and flight reservations. She couldn't be bothered. I told her to refund my money and I'd go elsewhere. I'm sorry...but as a retiree who built a professional career on setting proper expectations, communicating effectively, negotiating efficiently, etc, this was unacceptable! As that was the "level of service" they were willing to offer, I highly recommend people take their medical business to an office that does care about the client experience.
