Never got to get to the back. People being assisted loooonnnggg after we were checked and paper work completed. I will never recommend this office. I am in a wheelchair and the staff only replied "I'm sorry that happened" WHAT THE HELL kinda of response that is to give a new patient. However; the staff was all to willing to help other patients get from their car to the office and taken directly back. Meanwhile I continued to sit waiting for my name to be called. NEVER HAVE I HAD THIS KIND OF TREATMENT FROM ANY DOCTORS OFFICE. I had a stroke on my left side which has caused partial blindness.
