Great medical center as far as doctors go. They would if possible get a complete zero just on the poor professional behaviour of the psychologist Helen Shmidt. Her lack of professionalism for those with mental health struggles isdisgusting. If needing help i recommend anyone else as you cant fault a great surgery for lack of care. So well worth using.

We understood he couldn't do a "walk-in" appointment, nor was he trying to. He was attempting to book the appointment. The entire ordeal left both
