Several reviews mention prescription management—doctors reviewing labs and prescriptions, updating meds, and helping with refills. Some reviewers also describe coordination around lab testing and follow-up, including having bloodwork done at the office. A few reviews also highlight gaps when follow-up, prescriptions, or records aren’t handled smoothly, such as delays communicating about a medication or missing prior visit records.

caveat

Scheduling and communication can slip

Some residents report frustrating delays, mix-ups, or difficulty reaching staff by phone.

While many reviews are positive, a recurring concern is appointment friction, including waiting longer than expected, check-in errors, or confusion around which system holds an appointment. Other reviews mention difficulty getting in touch with the office, with messages not returned and prescriptions not received in time. There are also concerns about provider continuity, with at least one reviewer saying the practice’s providers change often.

On-site testing support stands out

Residents like being able to handle testing and procedures conveniently at the office.

A number of reviews call out convenient access to on-site testing, such as bloodwork and ultrasound, with people describing timely service and feeling prepared for procedures.
