Terrible, absolutely unprofessional, and treated me like I was wasting his time (meanwhile he didnt even see me until almost an hour and a half after I was scheduled to see him and half an hour after I was sent into the room). Every time I tried to describe a problem he dismissed me immediately and when I insisted he at least listen to the symptoms he rolled his eyes and did that "*sigh* /fine/" thing that teenagers do when told to do chores. I tell him that I clusters of episodes marked by a strong feeling of deja vu, uncontrollably hearing all the same thoughts as the last episode, a strong tan smell and intense nausea followed by a crippling headache, an inability to focus, memory loss, and an all consuming feeling of impending doom - he tells me its just a migraine. I point out that I get actual migraines and theyre nothing like that, he rolls his eyes and tells me to describe those, then cuts me off before I can describe a single symptom and tells me Im wrong and if Id ever had a real migraine Id know better. He tells me to just drink coffee and that a prescription would be wasting his time, and was I really going to insist he do something, really? (Id already told him coffee doesnt help with these, just with regular migraines, and both things left me unable to function for hours) I also told him Id been hit by a car a year earlier and never regained full range of motion in one ankle and he rolled his eyes and told me if I had any /real/ problems Id have done something by now. When I pointed out i still had a problem he acted the same as with the "migraines". I could order an x-ray but do you really want that? Are you actually going to insist on this? Really? Really? I stopped asking for help after that. He dismissed me and my problems, treated me like I was a burden on his time, and unreasonable for expecting him to listen, acted like an annoyed teenager, and left me feeling humiliated. (I am not writing this review under my actual account, I dont trust that he would behave professionally with my actual name and a bad review, and he certainly didnt pay enough attention to remember me from my symptoms)

The most unprofessional childish doctor I have ever come across. I had a severe reaction to a virus that spasmed my neck for a month. I went to several doctors who asked me if I was in a car accident because my medical images looked like whiplash. I knew something was seriously wrong and it was not normal. He dismissed my concerns and told me to go do yoga because he couldnt come up with a proper diagnosis. I told him I was there to get help and this is beyond exercise and yoga. He also discussed my chart with a family member (why is he discussing my medical history with someone else?), insulted me behind my back, and said the problem was in my head and I was being a baby.What a weird reaction. He seems to have gotten his feathers ruffled when I rejected his yoga suggestion and took it extremely personal. A doctor should not have an ego. You listen to the patient and try to help them. I was able to find a competent doctor who took my problem seriously and was able to cure me with several cortisone injections and Im so thankful for her compassion and knowledge. Honestly, the only reason I came here because of his flexible hours. He was the only one open when I needed help. Please, if you need help go somewhere else, dont get seduced by his office hours, they are a waste of your time. Horrid!

Made an appointment to find a new primary care doctor. The doctor was not in and I had to see the PA. She was absolutely the most rudest person Ive ever come across in a professional setting. The first words out of her mouth were what do you want from me. I am prescribed attentenol for high blood pressure and Xanax for anxiety . I gave her all my paperwork as I was recently hospitalized and she continued to jump down my throat continuously saying Im not giving you Xanax when I did not even ask for Xanax I told her I was there to find a new doctor and she did not leave a good first impression on me . She was obviously having a bad day and is obviously not ready to be a professional I give this doctor office a negative one star it was a waste of my time and I am disgusted by the attitude I received when all I wanted to do was find a new primary care doctor

There are a couple of great things to this facility. Dr.Meridith Corson, the PA and the nurse. The medical technicians are OK, but nothing special. Dr.Corson herself will take her sweet time with you. She does this with me for everything, but booking an appointment with her will takes months, so you might as well book them back to back right away and make a plan of it all. I like the nurse, he has manners and provides the IV vitamins promptly. The husband doc is obviously jaded. He lacks compassion and is the business part of this practice. He is very lucky he has his wife for the holistic part of it, bc he alone; would not succeed. I am basing all of this on my observation as a patient/customer of 2 years. Overall its a good place if you plan ahead.

I have been seeing Dr H for several years and he is a such a fantastic doctor. Always smiling and willing to take the time to talk to you. The office is professional and courteous. He has helped me with my celetic"s diesese and guided me through my process. I visit the office everother week and continue to get Meyers drips and b-12 injections. They have saved me and every time I leave the office I feel so amazing!!!! I have recommended this office over and over to anyone looking for alternative medicine. I cant say enough!!! DR H is the best!!

Surprised to see any negative reviews. Love the ability to go do docs that are more holistic in their approach and not willing to push quick band aid fixes and mediocre care at their patients. Ive referred many people here all equally happy and drive far to go there. Wish more practices were as modern and caught up to the times as they are.

I never thought Id find a replacement for Dr Groh. But she sold the practice to a great couple. It was a little rocky at first, but now the place is humming nicely. Its not often that you find a practice that has a good front staff AND a good set of doctors and PAs. Great place.
