    1. Delayed Communication
    Many patients experience weeks‑long response times on the patient portal and difficulty reaching staff by phone. Follow‑up messages are often incomplete or written in unclear language, leading to confusion about medication and appointments.
  • warning
    2. Billing & Hidden Fees
    Patients report unexpected charges, duplicate billing, and fees for routine services such as signatures or record uploads. Some describe discrepancies of several thousand dollars that required extensive clarification.
  • warning
    3. Rushed Consultations
