I appreciated the service and the doctor who treated me was very kind. Let's keep it up for everyone's health and well-being.
The receptionist are very rude, no professionalism at all. Please do better when it comes to helping and communicating with your clients please!
I have reached out and spoken to the front dest every day over over 1 week asking for my prescription refills- I am without the medication I have taken daily for years to help depression and 3 others Rx. Every day they have said they send the doctor a message but nothing has been sent to the pharmacy, I do not know what to do.
Their call center representatives have an affinity for hanging up after you’ve been waiting on hold. I’ve also heard this from others. Extremely unprofessional.
Started seeing Jennifer ramon in 2020. She's amazing and treats her patients like she cares. These days I'm currently seeing Sara Martin and I just cant say enough good things about her. She truly cares about her patients and it shows. I've NEVER EVER had any issues nor do I have any complaints about the Dr's. The front desk is another story. I feel this position should be given to someone with patients .understanding and just kind...that should be a requirement for the job...and we the people should not even have to be saying this. You would think it would just be a given.. being they're dealing with sick and elderly people .also certain Dr's are there only on Tuesdays and Thursdays... take that into consideration..
The doctors at this clinic are the Best: Lexy, Teresa, and the others whose names I don't know, but the receptionists are the worst. They have no education or common sense when dealing with people. They are very rude and don't help you at all. It's as if the clinic belonged to them and they decide who gets treated and who doesn't.
Strange how we come to these places for assistance, for them to extort us, *rob us, Pepper Spray us (at the soup kitchen location, Two Male guards, taking my skateboard (with guys with Machetes?), and one swung on me, and Stole my Skull Candy head phones, *3D SECURITY). Who I called and decided to do nothing, not even return my call? A Doctor at this clinic told me while I was crying my first time having bed bugs so bad from the shelter I was staying at (*COMPASSION CENTER ☠️), that, "I need to just use the shampoo and stop crying, because she grew up on this side and She had bed bugs in elementary." While the whole staff laughed at me and made me sit isolated, I've never seen any other person treated this way. I had a brain injury and I had a lot of trauma, thankfully for neuroplasticity and therapy I healed. But I can't help but think of when you guys made me put my backpack outside of the bathroom cuz that's your guys's policy. And the same security guard who attacked me at the soup kitchen stole my backpack with the only $200 that would have kept me in from getting the bed bugs usually humiliated me over later on. I also was emotional because I had my child at the same shelter with me, just got off a 9-hour shift, and also and bullied that the shelter I was at. They don't help you, there's some kind of hierarchy politician situation going on, with the resources. They will email you and say if you collect such documents they can get you a hotel voucher, because you have a child and an active restraining order, and the part of their domestic violence program. But every time you get such documents they'll say that you missed the deadline, then wait for you to come by so they can collect your items as you use the only restroom, you've been able to find for a while. Places like this take more from us and I think they understand, we have to make peace with never having materials because we understand that people behind different positions or in the power to remove those from us. It's never ours anyways, and you make one human step, and upset your worker. I'm indigenous too, not from this part of Earth,but everyone else I've met, who is worth knowing, understood that. A bigoted place that only helps people when they're about to get caught, and people so grateful they would never speak of things that they witnessed. I suffered because of ignorance, and people counting on it being a self-induced, mental state they were dealing with. They have no integrity at all, at first I was thinking why would God have me go through this? But maybe it was so I could be a voice when I heal, it's like the beginning of Texas chainsaw. Just noticed the strange subtle things that don't sit right, and follow that.
I had the experience of speaking with Adam, my new physician and was absolutely delighted by the fact that he is so thorough! He did more for me in 30 minutes than any other doctor I’ve ever met! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a doctor, and my friends n family!! Indeed I did!
