    Inconsistent Doctor Interactions
    While many patients have had good experiences with specific doctors, some reviews point to inconsistent interactions, particularly with Dr. Texl, who has been described as dismissive or condescending. This inconsistency can leave some patients feeling undervalued, emphasizing the importance of open, respectful communication between doctors and patients.

Prospective patients should consider discussing all possible costs upfront to avoid surprises.
  • warning
    Pressure in Decision-Making During Treatment
