"I’m a relatively new patient to this practice and I have had nothing but issues that I have previously let slide. The office staff is probably the most incompetent group of individuals I have ever had to deal with. They called me the day of my appointment to reschedule from a Tuesday to a Thursday at same time of the same week, no problem. Then about an hour later I get another call telling me that they need to reschedule my upcoming appointment. I told them that it was already taken care of earlier and that I had a new appointment already rescheduled. They could not confirm my rescheduled appointment as apparently the previous person did not in fact schedule me correctly, and wanted me to push out my appointment for blood work for another week. Aside from constantly canceling appointments, the medical assistant sent a completely different medication to my pharmacy to be filled and it was like an act of congress to get it corrected after multiple attempts to reach the doctor’s office. ...
Honestly just stay away from this place. They are unorganized and unprofessional. Time to search for a new PCP! "

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.
