Was at this office today. When I approach the front desk to ask a question, the front desk person did not acknowledge me until I said hello. She seems to be engrossed with some tasks related to data entry on her computer. Did not look up at me. While she may be busy, her approach was not very customer/client friendly. After all our visit to this office is bringing in some revenue.

This doctor advised me to change my medication and said I could switch back with no problems. I have been sick for seven months. This doctor is the worse I have ever been to.
