“This is the worst medical facility I've ever encountered. Blame telemedicine and poor staff, but it also seems the doctor cannot run a business either. I never once saw a doctor -- however I scheduled and was made to wait hours only to be ghosted in SEVERAL appointments with "Cora," who is an ill-qualified personnel who would not pass any medical exam of basic gut understanding. They paid to send me a SIBO test but it took nearly a month to receive; they almost missed the boat on testing my results when I sent it back, and it's still unclear to me if they tested my OLD samples because when I called already 10 days had passed and I do not count on them for timeliness. My "Review" again, not once ever did I see a doctor I was paying for, was with an assistant who vaguely said "you have SIBO" - nothing on severity, what it means - while giving me vague, non-medical instructions without any clarity on medication type, how much, how this medication works with the other, etc. She also inanely said I should call a pharmacy when I told her a pharmacy would need ... ah... a literal script. I finally did get the doctor on the phone to interpret my results and clarify the instructions and why my medication differed from my friend, and he said the office had "sent me the test as a favor, they dont usually mail" -- babes, I paid you $90 USD for that, and no, it doesn't cost $15 to mail you definitely marked up ... also dont offer a service you cant provide ... also this offer sucks never ever ever go here.
