Office Staff and Communication Issues
The office staff's behavior and communication have been a major concern for several patients. Some have reported being refused calls from the on-call doctor, being yelled at by assistants, and receiving poor communication about test results and appointment scheduling.
Cost and Billing Issues
Some patients have reported being surprised by high costs for services, including a $450 mole checkup and unclear billing practices. One patient was not informed of the cost of a procedure and was later charged a large amount.
Positive Experiences with Doctors
On the other hand, some patients have reported excellent experiences with certain doctors, including Dr. Reager, Dr. Grossman, and Dr. Smith. These doctors were described as professional, knowledgeable, and supportive, with one patient stating that Dr. Smith is "a lifesaver."
Issues with Specific Doctors
However, some patients have reported negative experiences with other doctors, including Dr. Colman, who was described as unhelpful and dismissive, and an unnamed older doctor who was perceived as rushed and expensive.
