Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely horrible experience. As others have said, the staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. I arrived at the scheduled time and waited for more than an hour. Eventually, I got up to go and asked the staff as to why was there a delay. One of them gets up annoyed and says let me go check if there is a room available. She comes back and says there is. Her attitude was really bad. I decided to just walk away. This was my first and final visit.

Can't tell if it was Dr. Oliver or the Office that failed me. After my first meeting with him, I had to go back 3 times to get the results of my blood test. Finally calling quest to get the results directly. They called me a week later to say medication had been ordered. Would have been nice if I knew what was ordered, what was wrong with me, or for the Dr. to call me back when they got the results. No intention of going back.

Dr. Oliver is a good Dr., but his staff is awful. They do not respond to calls, they do not call back, or get messages to him. I am often waiting WEEKS for call backs and no response to prescription refills even from the pharmacy. This practice has been this way for years, the ONLY reason I stay is because it is hard to start over with a new Dr. after years with someone else. I hope this gets his attention so he can address the issues.
