Takes more than 10 minutes to answer the phone every time I call This is ridiculous I won't be calling them back again Can't wait on the phone all day then they gave me a number to call them back and the phone call doesn't go through

I have called this place. I don’t know how many times I called this place a couple of years ago. Nobody never answered the phone. And today in 2025 nobody still don’t answer the phone. I guess the only way you’ll be able to get some kind of service or talk to somebody if you go in the building in person. This is very horrible and ridiculous makes no sense.

My apt was at 10am. I got here 5 minutes early. I sat in the waiting room for over an HOUR! I finally asked what was going on and they marked me as a NO SHOW! I think the blonde lady that checks people in up front is incompetent and needs to be retrained to do her job!
Hannah Drounette
Dr.Vaughn and her nurse is wonderful. Sweet and caring ladies, fun to talk to. I felt like I mattered! Front desk ladies are kind as well. They have hard jobs and I can't imagine how difficult it may be dealing with rude clients all day. Will always recommend this clinic.

Doc was nice. The receptionist has no people skills and looks like she hates being there. The little blonde in the office is about as pleasant as a cactus. Never been in an office like this, and it seems others are also treated badly. Seems like low income medical facility. If the employees don't like where they work, maybe look into something else. We don't need rudeness. You actually think we wanna be in there? Nope... Do better!
