What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My last appointment with Amy Northrup was supposed to be a in person visit, but this was changed to virtual because Amy wanted to work from home. When I went to schedule my 6 month follow up visit, which Amy told me to do, I was told that I would have to come in about a month because my last visit was supposed to be in person and I needed to have one in person visit a year. Why should I be penalized because for convenience of my provider. This causes me extra money and time. P.S. The one month visit was also scheduled to be virtual. What's going on in this office?
