"This doctors x ray tech took at least 8 pictures of my hands, knees, and neck. The Dr. Mackessy looked at one photo while in front of me. Hardly looked at any of the parts of my body that were in pain. Offered me no advice other than to see another doctor. Complete waste of time. He wrote script for me to get blood work, but told me he would not read it. However I still had the blood work sent to him just because I didn’t know what doctor I would see following him at that point. I called and left a voicemail requesting the results of my blood work and got no response. I had to go through lab corp to get my results. Then when I finally had an appointment with a new doctor who could assist me further, I called a day in advance to request a copy of my x rays. The lady on the phone told me I could come in any time the next day during office hours to get a copy of my x rays. Neglected to tell me it was a $10 charge and also didn’t tell me that I had to come in while the x ray tech was there. ...
I went in at 230pm and apparently the tech was gone by 12pm. Overall a terrible expensive experience. Would never ever go back. Doctor was unprofessional and staff was rude and not helpful. Wish I could leave 0 stars. Will never return. "
