Delays and scheduling issues come up

Some reviewers report delays or scheduling problems that affected care.

A few reviewers mention waiting longer than expected, including a reported two-hour delay. Others describe cancellations and repeated rescheduling, and at least one review describes leaving after being told they had to wait longer due to preparation instructions. These experiences suggest that timing and coordination can be inconsistent for some appointments and procedures.

Billing frustration is a recurring concern

Several reviewers express strong dissatisfaction with billing and costs.

Some reviews call out very high charges, describing bills that felt out of proportion and asking for explanations or itemization that they did not receive. There are also complaints about administrative handling, including delays in receiving bills and difficulty disputing charges. On the positive side, one reviewer describes getting a billing statement resolved quickly after meeting with a staff member, but billing complaints still appear often enough to stand out.
