My experience with this provider, especially Dr. Chen, was excellent. It doesn't take her long to explain what needs to happen, what the patient needs to do, in order to take good care of themselves. She isn't pushy, either. She just tells it like it is.

Cire, the scheduler for Dr. Harrison, was very helpful. She went over my insurance and referral in an efficient and professional manner. She also did not make me feel "rushed" which I appreciate.

I had an ultrasound of my thyroid which Dr Chin has been following. There was no measurable change. Labs regarding my upcoming back surgery were good. Dr Chin covered all my concerns and questions with easy-to-understand language and I left feeling comfortable and appreciative of her work.

I came in as a new patient and Dr Lindsay Harrison exceeded my expectations. She was very knowledgeable, kind and listened to all my concerns with compassion. She had gone over my medical records and knew exactly what was going on. That doesn’t happen often these days. I now feel like I have a plan for my health care, and I appreciate coming to an office where you’re treated well from beginning to end.

Don’t bother cause you can’t even get an appointment. In fact you can’t even get ahold of anyone. My doctor referred me to this place and I’ve been trying to set up an appointment for a week now. Every time I call they either don’t answer, it hangs up on me, it says they’re closed for lunch, or just says they’re closed when they are open. So I tried setting up an appointment online. Later that day I get a message saying they won’t schedule my appointment until my doctor sends over a referral. My doctor already DID. I even got a text from this place saying they received my doctors referral and would contact ME to schedule me in. They never did. So now the only option I see is going back to my doctor so we can try to find a place that isn’t allergic to picking up their phones

Dr. Harrison is the best! She listens, she’s kind, she’s professional, and she’s an excellent endocrinologist. The entire office team was top tier actually. This place is kind of perfect.

Update: I really appreciate how fast the office gets back to me when I need help. I just wish it was easier to be seen sooner. Maybe they should open another office down south.
