While the wait might be long it was well worth it for a dr. who is personable, he explains treatments and procedures in really understandable way.

My experience dealing with this Doctor and his staff was horrible! Patty and Raul lack professionalism they are rude and dishonest ! Horrible standards for a medical office! The wait time is unbearable. I waited almost two hours for an appointment only to be told they forgot to tell me I was rescheduled!! Lack of professionalism for a medical office .. I would never recommend this office.

The overall service I received from this office is horrible. There is no follow up with the patient after sugery, the wait time for office visits is 1-3 hours long. The Dr spends five minutes or less with you there's no communication at all. If you require forms to be completed by the Dr. then I suggest you get ready for the ride. The office staff is rude, they have no follow up skills, the place is a joke and the Office Manager is non-existing. I suggest you avoid this office at all cost. RUN
