The staff at the front desk is literally rude (states her name is Aaron or however you spell it) , makes you feel like your exaggerating, looks at you with mugging faces at the front . Can’t answer a question through the windows and makes you go alllll around . They need new staff . And it it not the first time but the last I will stay quiet Following on the review from (humming star) the young black lady that sits in the right side in the corner . Now I have manners but one day she will mess with the wrong one . She needs to be fired . And now I bet they all at the front talking , which is messy . HR needs to hire new staff I came in at 11 it is 2:32 and I’m still waitinggggggg to be seen . The doctor already took a lunch and anotherrrrrr breakkkkk … pathetic.

The worst wait 2 and 3 hours after your appointment time and Dr. Thigpen you never know what site she's working from. 20 years I saw Dr Villegas there he's great Dr Thigpen let my health suffer and she has a bed side manner of a pitbull.
Sofia Hernandez
Awful customer service, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE❗️❗️The hispanic lady at the front where the dental section was at was so rude. The workers here speak to you like a dog and i’m not even exaggerating. The assistants also don’t have any clue what they’re doing.
Humming Star
I don’t know her name but that one black lady up front with that one scoop of hair has no customer service and is extremely rude. If you don’t want a fight to happen with the wrong one, one day, do something about her. There is no reason she should cut someone off and talk to someone like they’re a dog because the wanted clarification on one of the FOUR windows to go to.
