I love Dr. Yudi Luna she is so caring and thoughtful. However, the staff lately have been slacking off. They never called me for my sons results and when I called back they didn’t even have a response to it. Dr. Luna seems to be doing everything in terms of giving me appointments, dr visits , calls, etc and nurses seems not to be following up. I just feel that Dr. Luna does everything.

My aunt recommended me there after I gave birth to my first child, I LOVE Dr. Costa, BUT the girls in the front are horrible! They're rude, mean, give ugly stares, belittle people, especially one named Vanessa. I love the Dr but I'm thinking about changing him because the girls at the front are mean. There's an MA that is just the sweetest person ever. I'm only rating Good because of the girls, not Dr. Costa. Get In a better mood, geez!

Although we (doctor, staff, and I) were in agreement,staff did not follow up with a phone number for a specialist which takes our insurance. I had to searc for one myself.
