Reviewers consistently praise the pharmacy staff for warmth and personal attention, with Matt, Paul, and Wade named for going above the norm. A recent review highlighted the pharmacy's commitment to human interaction over automated systems. However, reaching the pharmacy by phone can be difficult, and wait times during pickup rush can stretch to 20 minutes when understaffed.

Therapists here earn consistent praise for compassion and skill, particularly Melinda and Hannah with individual and child clients. Many describe real breakthroughs in managing anxiety and trauma. However, office staff and administration (notably Terry Somerville and Becky) receive repeated complaints about rudeness, billing mistakes, and dismissive treatment that contradicts the counselors' care.
