It took 25 minutes to check in the front desk and another 3 hours to see the doctor. Not very considerate to patients needs. Not worth the wait.

My first appointment I waited 2 hours past my appointment time to be seen, with no excuses, explanations, or apologies from the doctor or his staff. My visit with the doctor lasted all of 5 minutes. They paid no attention to details of what I told them they just ran through their everyday motions, granted they were polite. I will never return to be treated like cattle.

It's sad to say but I waited two months to get an appointment with this doctor and then a week before it was changed due to an emergency. But I have been to his office twice and the first visit I waited three hours for him and the second time the other patients were complaining that they had been waiting three hours. Leaves alot to be desired. And his staff is not far from the same. Could use some improvement!!
