Yahaya listens and responds promptly especially when you need him the most. Really saved the day when I needed him because of lost medication. Problem was solved immediately. Thanks Yahaya!

For my first appointment, I had registered for it to be in person and I drove 40 minutes to the appointment only to be called to be told it would be virtual. On my second appointment, he forgot to renew my script, and I spent almost 3 days over New Year's week trying to get in contact with him so I wouldn't run out of new meds. At my 3rd appointment, he discussed my bodyweight and told me to ask my primary doctor for ozempic as it related to binge eating due to anxiety. On my 4th appointment, he didn't show up altogether. Very unprofessional. Hopefully, I can find a new provider who can renew my meds.
