I called 3/26/14 to pay on a $119.29 bill. Informed the young lady I would be paying $19.92. Lord she charged $119,29 on my visa. Called the two days later and Barbara the billing supervisor assured me that she would return my money less the amount I wished to pay. Well 7 days later no money. Why steal from a senior who is trying to pay her bill. Do the practice need the money that bad. Watch your money

They go out of their way to make everyone feel equally respected and cared for. I've seen client favoritism at some of the other places I've been, and I really appreciate the extra effort they make to avoid that here. Their prices were very fair. The level of care you get for the price is outstanding. They are one of the most reliable doctors I've ever been to. They always keep their appointments, and even call me to remind me the day before. I couldn't believe how clean and organized their office was. It was one of the cleanest offices I've ever seen. As soon as I walked through the door, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They went out of their way to make me feel special and appreciated.
