Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2024
Would have given five stars, loved Dr. Compton, front desk staff was just dismissive and rude. They were definitely doing you a favor taking your information. No courtesy, no good mornings, no thank yous. Just treated you like one of the herd. One woman was excitedly telling one of the receptionists about how she had a new puppy. The woman half smiled, nodded her head, and refused to engage with her. Seeing the complaints from others about the desk staff, this is pretty par for the course. Update: after posting this review, their office manager called and was extremely nice, offered me her direct line to book future appointments, and told me they were very sorry. Moved up my review from 3 stars to 4.
