Worst experience ever! Poor business model and customer service! I had seen Dr Proffit for 7 years and can't say enough praise about him. Clinch and his team bought the practice and allowed it to fail until they finally closed the doors! It took 4 1/2 months before I recieved a bill! They never...

Review for Dr. Clinch

Just kept loading me up on pills and said to come back for a 6 month follow up. I spent three days in the hospital for acute renal failure because...

Lois Richters Jul 12 2023

Review for Dr. Gallagher

Rude and horrible bedside manners. I have never had a doctor this bad. She talks over you and won't let you ask questions nor listen to your concerns. I will never want her to care for any of my loved ones. Please stay away from her.
