Just had a doctor appt with Dr. Rigler yesterday. Very good experience! It went smoothly. His nurse was really nice and he was too very caring and listened to what I had to say and cared about how I was feeling. Staff up front was really nice. It went well. Actually going back again in 2 weeks.

Call to make an appointment due to an absest in my mouth. When i tryed to make appointment the nurse said shw had to speek with the dr. That she did, after done so shw told me they had an appointment today. Wich i couldnt attned, then she told me to call back tomarrow and make an emergency appointment so i did when i called them they did Not answer the phone so i left a message for somone to call back needless to say ita been a month and not one dr nurse or staff member called me back. I have sence got it fixed elsewhere. The point of the mater is i have a serious medical situation that could have ended horable for the lack of care from Therese medical professionals.

Receptionists are rude and egar to get off the phone even though they barely answer the phone! They made my husband wait 3 weeks for a blood pressure appointment to get his meds refilled over him making a emergency appointment for his back and seen a different nurse prationer. He could have a had stroke or heart attack. He didn't get the back issue resolved until I made a 2nd appointment and had him tell them what testing needed to be done! They don't listen and they push you off until you demand care! It's pretty ghetto for being in a nice building!

"Dr." Esch, lady is drunk on the clock, she was rude and ignored all my concerns, had to get care elsewhere. Should be refunded and she should be investigated by the state ethics board.
