Weekend visits and children's care
A clean office is described in 23 reviews, and six reviews say the team is great with kids. Long waits past the appointment time account for 6 of its 12 one- and two-star reviews since October 2023, so leaving some slack in your day around a visit makes sense.
Fact-checked · How we write these
Concerns beyond long waits
Recent bad reviews raise separate concerns about front-desk interactions, being turned away, and work needing correction. The issues span access and follow-through.
