SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN. IDK what is wrong with Nogales AZ. worst medical clinic ever coming from south Phoenix and Tucson. this is by far the scariest place to visit. medical needs are nothing to joke about they do not care about any humans wellbeing. travel if you need to but do not take your children, loved ones or selves here.

The front office people are unprofessional. The new receptionist is the rudest person ever and she borderline violates HIPAA every time I go there. She made sure to shout out the reason for my appointment to everyone there. She also made me repeat my reason for being there multiple times. I guess patient confidentiality is a suggestion and not a priority at this place. You better believe I will be complaining to my insurance about this place.
I didn't catch the receptionist's name but if I go there and she makes everyone know my reason for being there (which violates my privacy as a patient) I will be asking for her name and reporting her and this clinic to the office of civil rights.

I have to say that the customer service is unprofessional, the schedulers that answer never want to give you their name. I guess it's not their fault maybe there is no accountability to their office manager. The workers are a reflection of their superiors. I have worked in the medical scheduling field for years and could answer professionally and always give my Name because I am sure of the service I am giving.
If I ran that call center believe me our customer service would be extraordinary. Do these people understand that because of their customers they have a job. People start calling your insurance companies and let them know how their service is. These offices are run paid through medicare and they are as audited and need to be committed to the public. Start complaining so the insurances can make them liable.

Dr. Hernandez from pediatrics is the most rude, unprofessional and incompetent person I have ever encountered in healthcare. She talks down at patients as if they are stupid. She does not speak proper english and even has a very hard time articulating in spanish so it is very hard to understand her. She has extremely bad breath noticeable even wearing a mask which makes it hard to take serious when you cannot take care of your own personal hygiene. Tried to Diagnose my son with serious condition after a total of 30 seconds of evaluation. What a joke!

Biggest issue is them not posting medications to the pharmacy on time. Month to month, even though I solicit the refill well before I run out of medication, I still have no medication days. When I call the pharmacy, it's always the same issue, waiting for the clinic to send in refill.
