"Overall extremely poor experience with the doctor's office. No follow-ups. Rude front office. Random calls from the office to reschedule and/or modify appointments. Secretary is the worst I have seen. On my initial visit I was in the office for close to 2 hours while I spent 90% of time just waiting for some paperwork or some assistant to come by. In fact, after the visit was asked to pay at the front desk. Once paid they kept calling non-stop daily through an automated system saying they want to talk to me. Once patched in the agent did not even know what the call was about. X-Rays were not followed-up on. Doctor said will follow-up in a week with results. But no follow-up came. Called the office multiple times but no call backs. Columbia's online/app extremely poor. No results were uploaded. User interface from the 1980s. Overall an extremely disappointing experience. Avoid."

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.
