Clean, modern. doctors seem to really care. I've been a patient here for a few years, and have always had a good experience. My doctor actually stayed late one evening after a physical exam, to remove a suspicous mole. Great clinic

My entire family are patient's at this clinic - I have two elementary age children, an infant, and my husband. it is really great to have the same medical providers treat my entire family. They are open 7 days a week, which I have never seen in a primary care office. The providers are all very knowledgeable and caring. They have a lot of resources in the clinic, including a nutrionist. The nurses are very helpful, as I call often with questions and concerns about my children. I am so pleased with my experience at South Tabor over the past 5 years or so, and I'm so glad I found them!

I have been with this clinic for many years and have never had an issue with anyone. Until yesterday. I was seen by a female doctor there that I had never seen before. I have an eating disorder and have been working with my regular nurse practitioner (who I adore- very cool and willing to listen). She was out this week and I needed to do a weight check and EKG. I asked for a referral to an office that deals with eating disorders routinely. I was questioned about why I would need a new office. I just wanted the referral, not a lecture. She focused all her attention on the fact that I had a stable weigh in, losing only a pound. I am aware that I am in no physical danger currently: I just wanted a referral so I brought up new banner above the reception desk inviting one and all to "Be the Biggest Loser". Apparently there is a contest going on for a 50 dollar gift card. That's absolutely fine, I however need to go elsewhere. I thought that since there were so many years behind me there that there would be a more friendly response. She actually *chuckled* and said it wasn't addressed to me. I am fully aware that not everyone knows how to deal with an eating disorder but when I revealed that I had gone off of a specific med because of weight gain, her response was to look at my midsection and say "I can see that". This appointment was a train-wreck. I would not be writing this here right now if I had received any support from the office manager/admin. I feel like I have no voice. She would not make an appointment to see me, did not want me to meet with this doc unless it was alone or with my NP. ( I wanted my husband present) Her mind was made up when she answered the phone. I was polite, articulate and respectful to all in the office. I have never been treated so incredibly shoddily as I was at this appointment. Unless you want to count the response from the administration who wanted to say that it may have been a miscommunication due to cultural differences. I have no idea what culture feels it's fine to be rude and insensitive, but I have never had an interaction with anyone else of Arabic decent that was horrid - well now I have, but I would not insult others with that assessment- it's rude and ignorant.
