Place is filthy! Talk about rude people! Had heard some things about this clinic; but decided to give it a try. The staff were okay at the front desk, but; after being placed in a dirty examination room, a man came in wearing surgical scrubs, and no name tag. He started giving orders and was trying to obtain vital signs (blood pressure, temp., etc.) and when asked if he was a nurse, doctor? - He ignored the question and then when he saw the blood pressure was a bit high, he kept re-talking it and ordered that I relax. He said they (the clinic ) does not like high blood pressure readings in the chart for patients who don't have a previous diagnosis of high blood pressure. What? So, when he couldn't get one that was low enough, he took one that was the lowest and then lowered it further, and when asked what he was doing ? - He said he "rounded the blood pressure off". Had to ask him to kindly report what the blood pressure was reading, and not to purposely lower it. He was upset.

When the doctor came in, he spent most of the visit arguing with staff about what time he was supposed to leave. He did not want to get stuck in rush hour traffic. When asked about a referral for a recently ruptured disc with an orthopedic specialist, he said he prefers Chiropractors for any type of back issue, and that he just happens to know a good one in the area. After politely refusing his referral to his friend, he began to argue the issues. The entire experience was like a scene from a D movie!
