I have never seen such a mickey-mouse operation. It seemed shady from the beginning and had the feel of a car dealership instead of a doctor's office. The attitude from the staff was clearly more about sales than patient care. The front of the store is nice, but the exam area is cramped, cluttered with miscellany, and dirty. It looks more like a storage area than an examination room. The contrast is shocking. You don't actually see the doctor, unless you complain. You see a tech who has absolutely no idea what was going on, can't spell, and just repeats ""I'm not medical"" when you ask questions. Honestly, I think the technician may have been a bit ""slow."" Unless you ask, they are VERY CAREFUL about making it seem like you're seeing a doctor, but you're not. Ask them what the level of training the person evaluating you is. I had to ask them to clean the machine they were going to use to examine me. When the tech tried to put some eye drops in my eye without washing his hands or telling me what the drops were for I complained and the doctor came in. I clearly stated my objection: what if the tech had treated someone with an eye disease earlier and forgot to wash his hands? I'm supposed to TRUST that they're clean? The doctor was rude, condescending, and seemed baffled that I would question him (or his, and I'm not kidding, mildly retarded technician). The doctor said, ""we was our hands AFTER we see each patient."" I still protested, stating that I would like to see the person poking at my eyes wear gloves or AT LEAST wash his hands. The doctor responded: ""Do you wash your hands after every time you touch a doorknob?"" This was ridiculous. I don't put doorknobs in my eyes. So, I took my paperwork and left. I would NEVER set foot in the store again. I have been in health care for 10 years and have never seen this kind of flagrant disregard for patient safety and basic hygiene. DO NOT VISIT THIS ESTABLISHMENT IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH!\r

Cons: dirty, rude staff, poor hygiene, questionable HIPAA compliance (have those forms looked at by a lawyer, doc)
