Several specifically mention being patient, answering questions, and offering emotional reassurance. A few also contrast their comfort to other places they’ve experienced, noting staff made the process feel safer.

Long waits affect appointments

Reviewers frequently report longer-than-expected wait times.

Several reviewers describe waits that ran well beyond what they were told, including delays of a couple hours and longer. A few say the long delays made them miss schedules or leave before being seen. Even positive reviewers often pair their compliments with acknowledgment that getting into the appointment can take a long time.

Front desk and scheduling can slip

Some reviewers report problems with scheduling, access, or front-desk responsiveness.

A handful of reviewers describe appointment mix-ups, including arriving to find the office closed or being told they didn’t have the appointment on file. Others report difficulties reaching the office by phone. There are also reviews calling out unhelpful or rude front-desk experiences, particularly around payments and what was communicated in advance.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Mixed service quality overall

Reviewers describe sharply different experiences from one visit to the next.

While many reviews praise supportive care, a few reviewers report serious negative outcomes, including billing problems and dissatisfaction with how they were handled. These conflicting accounts suggest service can vary widely depending on the situation and the staff involved.
