- TTTia ThomasOct 19, 20253.0Visit with Dr. was fine . The atmosphere and staff was l friendly. I also inquired about another walk in appt for my daughter and was told by a younger black male with earrings that they were booked . I told him that was fine. While I was waiting on staff to get my glasses order another staff member a heavy set light complexion black woman proceeded to take an another walk in appt. Of two women. I say to this you never know who’s watching or paying attention to a lie that’s told. The wait time was excessive. Almost 3 hours total time in office.
