Not sure about all the low marks. My wife and i have experienced wonderful care from Dr. Bienik and the staff have been wonderful. I have recommended this clinic to several of my friends and they were delighted with their experience as well. If you don't have a doctor, I highly recommend you try these fine folks.

One of them “I cant believe this just happened accidents” Went to clinic and I was taken right away. Needed stitches, nurses were “Johnny on the spot with response” Then the Doc walked in, damn!! Been a long time since I been seen by an old school Doctor!! Staff, and especially the Doc was beyond great!! The attention to detail, the humor, I never been so relaxed before!!! God forbid you need their services, but if you do... You will not regret it!!!! I am 59 years old, had a lot of “oops” in my life I truly LOVED this place
