I have never been so displeased at a doctors' office ever in my life. It started with the check-in fiasco. The receptionist handed me an iPad for my check-in paperwork that was linked to someone else's account. I could see all of their information. Once we were finally inside an examination room, the bed was dirty with someone else's hair on it. Once the doctor came in, he sat 4 feet across from me, spoke for 2 minutes, then left the room. Didn't so much as listen with a stethoscope or even feel my pulse. Never coming back here

This was the worst experience office manager cannot even speak clear English. Would not call to verify insurance update. VERY inconsiderate with these times. I explained to them my insurance was up-to-date all they had to do is call! They never followed up on a call to me to let me know that I had to pay full price because the system had not updated the co-pay. Inconsiderate, rude, selfish people knowing how expensive gas is nowadays this would've been a six hour round-trip for us to see them.
I don't know what the rave is on their five star review. If their office manager is like this I hope it doesn't speak for the doctor unfortunately I couldn't get through the door to see them. I don't know what happened to courtesy nowadays, I guess because her English was not so clear she could not call and confirm. I called the insurance in their office, they said they could speak to them and benefits could fax them information on confirmation of my insurance being active and paid in full but they refused.

I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. They and Dr. Kenneth Wright were professional, brisk, and informative. I had all the information and care that I needed. This office is very busy but my wait time for each appointment was short enough. I can recommend them to you.
