My experience with EDLC has been a disappointing one. After my appointment today, I will not return. It is less to do with the quality of the medical care than it is to do with the multiple inconveniences I have endured. I requested I be referred to EDLC even though it is more than an hour from my home because I wanted Dr. Akhunji to be my endocrinologist. Dr. Akhunji is a fantastic doctor, and I felt she was worth the drive. Dr. Akhunji moved here from another office where she was my endocrinologist for several years. However, when I initially called to make an appointment, Dr. Akhunji was unavailable. Instead, I made an appointment with Christy Kutz, a Nurse Practitioner (NP), and thought I could perhaps see Dr. Akhunji in the future. NP Kutz has treated me well and provided excellent care. I was scheduled for two appointments in May 2022 (an ultrasound and a follow-up). In early May, we had a death in the family, and I went to help loved ones in another state after the loss. I flew back early to make the appointments in May and was notified that I needed to reschedule them. Ultimately, those appointments have been rescheduled a total of four times. The office staff was mostly unapologetic about rescheduling the appointments. A month after I was supposed to be seen, I will finally be seen today, June 21, for my follow-up. I had to go to a third-party service to get my ultrasound done. During this chaos, I requested to reschedule my appointment with Dr. Akhunji because NP Kutz was unavailable. I was told that I could not switch practitioners since I did not schedule with Dr. Akhunji when I transferred as a new patient. Due to this policy, I had to wait longer for an appointment. The worst part of this whole story, more than rescheduling, long drives, or staff apathy, is that I have not seen Dr. Akhunji, nor will I.

Best appointment Ive ever had. My last endo really dropped the ball but this place listened and talked to me about all of my concerns. Prescriptions are filled promptly and my issue with walgreens was resolved by Sally (big shout to the staff). I was given some extra pens because of the issue and couldnt have had an easier time getting everything solved. Very friendly and an all around great place to go, but people should always shop around for a doctor that will fit their schedule and personality.

So disappointed in this practice for so many reasons

From the front office to the lab and then to the doctor I have never felt so welcomed in a doctors office.
