They are disorganized, lost my paperwork, mis-scheduled my appointment, took care of patients before me, while my appointment was before them. Always runs late. Dr came late to work one day, blamed it on her car. Patients were not informed why dr was so behind.

The Doctor is very nice and seems to care about her patients. The front desk staff is rude, argumentative and not very competent when it comes to billing.

I actually enjoy going to the doctor when it is time for my appointment with Dr. Joanne Briggs. She is very smart, kind, and patient-centered. I appreciate her expertise and pleasant demeanor a great deal. Her staff is also made up of wonderful people. They make each patient feel welcome and relaxed. The staff is also very flexible in setting up appointments that work with my schedule. They place orders and return phone calls very promptly. These are special touches that I appreciate so very much. I would higly recommend Dr. Joanne Briggs to anyone in need of excellent opthamology care.
