"Spent weeks just trying to get a reply to make an appointment. Office does not respond to the online requests or phone calls. Always very short on the phone and dismissive and tell you just to wait for a call back which never comes. When you finally get to speak with someone, they lie and tell you they've been calling you back all along. Anyway, it took weeks in July just to schedule an appointment for over a month out. Appointment was supposed to be for tomorrow morning. I noticed the appointment suddenly disappeared from mychart app so I called to ask what was going on. First person in office said I never made an appointment and when I questioned how she could think that, transferred me. Second person looked me up and said someone else in the office had cancelled the appointment without reason or notification and they'd call me back then hung up. If the entire chain are people from scheduling to answering any question and even their email\online forms getting you rude, delayed, lack ...
of treatment, you have ZERO patient medical care as well as ZERO care as a business. "

"Dr. does not care about you/ filling out paperwork for insurance issues. Staff is incompetent and rude. Medical office manager Pat is even worse if you can imagine. "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
