The disrespect and in professional acts of the office and front desk is sad! They do not get appointments made they do not answer phones. In person they are so awful and uncomfortable to around! Everyone of the behind that desk have a I'm the godlike attitude. The lack of care in this last year is very sad. They get nothing done. A Patients are suffering and this office doesn't seem to care about patients anymore. It's truly sad.

My wife was seeing the dr. yates one morning when I approached the window and ask to see the person handling the billing...we told the woman she was billing the insurance company wrong, because we were receiving a bill well over a hundred dollars...when we should only have a co pay of 10.00 All she could do was argue back that she was billing it right and it was the insurance fault and then slammed the window on me...when I tried to tell doctor yates the problem...he ignored me and refused to remedy the problem...until this day we owe them over 500 dollors because of this.... If you think he is a decent doctor.....then you are a moron
