It would be helpful if you could schedule your next appointment as soon as your visit is completed but scheduling is only done up to three months in the future. If you need to see the doctor again in four months then you have to remember a month in the future to call for that next appointment.

Reviewed on Oct 25, 2023

Provider was very late to appointment, seemed a bit impatient, and a bit apathetic and ungrateful for my patience despite him being late....I felt rushed through the appointment and also didnt ask if it was ok for the medical student to attend, just simply introduced her, my experience is that I can decline someones attendance which my permission is asked first, I think thats the protocol, I could be wrong.

The ability to be at that level of knowledge and expertise, and have the ability to listen and communicate information in such a kind, understandable way is very rare. The Clinic struck gold when they acquired Dr. Anthony! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He chose a certain type of adhesive for the patches because of having a physical job (bedside RN), he actually recalled this and took the time to maximize my comfort and success in the process of patch testing. Amazing provider!
