I established care here hoping for thoughtful, long-term support for complex chronic health needs. I often felt unseen and unsupported. Communication, follow-through, and comprehensive assessment were inconsistent, and I frequently had to advocate firmly for even basic continuity — exhausting when already managing health challenges. While the environment is polished and friendly, the depth of clinical understanding did not meet the needs of layered, chronic conditions. There is no seamless integration with the affiliated hospital system, which becomes concerning when urgent care or coordination matters. This practice has shifted dramatically since previous leadership — efficiency, responsiveness, and patient-centered care have noticeably declined. If you live with complex or chronic illness, be mindful: healing requires attentive partnership, humility, and whole-person care. I did not find that level of support here. Real care feels like a hand on your back, not a mirror reflecting… itself.
