I went in on a Sunday 1 hour before closing. By the time I was seen it was ten minutes to closing. The PA was rushing me. He told me "we don't need to get into the details; I am leaving in 10 minutes". Excuse me, but I waited for treatment. I have no concern for his business after hours. He should have been more concern with my pain. Time to boost those bedside manners buddy!
A second time I went there for the same problem and a different PA, but I guess the same mentality runs ramped there (don't care for patients). I was shocked to see a sign outside for Dr. Goldman… (doctor of the year? what kind of paper work is submitted for a garbage title for that?)

This office is absolutely horrendous! Every time you go in, you're waiting for at least 2 hours, reading all the pharmaceutical advertisements on the walls and (I kid you not) the plaque on the wall from the Republican party thanking Dr. Goldman for his generous contributions. Sickening. It's obvious that these "professionals" care way more about soliciting free lunches from pharmaceutical reps than taking care of their patients. Then when you are finally seen, the nurse (since you NEVER actually see a doctor) couldn't care less and totally ignores your concerns, basically just shushing you. To get a referral for a minor skin problem, I had to go to First Choice TWICE, each time to get prescribed a treatment that did not work at all (just wasting $50 on needless prescriptions). Then on the third visit (that makes 6 hours of total waiting time to be seen, mind you), I was finally given the referral and could get the treatment I needed. I have to find a new PCP! This place STINKS!
