What patients say
Vibe: community-oriented
This practice receives polarized reviews reflecting inconsistency in service quality and facility standards. While many patients (11 five-star reviews) praise the caring, talented staff and excellent pain management—especially for anxious patients—there are serious concerns about wait times, cleanliness, potential care disparities by race, and variable quality across providers. The practice excels at affordability and insurance navigation, but struggles with operational efficiency and maintaining uniform standards.
