As mentioned on some of the comments below, the secretary at the front desk is extremely rude and incompetent. She needed to fax a form to my employer back in November and it's been a month and still hasn't been faxed. Every time I call to follow-up she lies to me or make up some story. Also I have been waiting for a month for her to send me the link to sign up for Health Myself (link that she is supposed to send to all patients).
Horrible service!

Terrible staff. Always forget things. Never pick up phone or reply your messages or emails. There is no way you can reach out to them.

Dr Holton never apologizes for his disrespectful behaviour . He treats others with disregard and disdain. He makes you feel unwelcomed already . He must reconsider his behaviour .

Overall a terrible experience. Dr. Zhao routinely dismisses health concerns, specifically when it comes to mental health, and his apathy towards his patients is very clear. He has refused to provide very basic care on multiple occasions: refusing to prescribe medication, refusing referrals, stigmatizing certain health concerns, and forgetting important information. Very disappointed.

I am trying to find one redeeming quality about the man and his practice but at the moment none come to mind. He rushes through appointments, does not listen to any concerns, is close minded and has been absolutely negligent with the care of both myself and my family. As of today he is no longer our general practitioner, good luck to those that have him.

David Holton is a terrible doctor. He is arrogant and condescending; uncreative and a drug pusher. He doesn't believe in anything other than big pharma fixes.

He thinks every problem is caused by anxiety. I had a thyroid problem that did cause anxiety - but he never once considered anxiety as a symptom or a secondary condition. Thankfully, I followed my gut and saw another doctor. My thyroid problem was detected and easily treated by a doctor who recognized that anxiety is often a symptom of other disorders.

I do not recommend David Holton to anyone. His bedside manners are sorely lacking, if you contradict him or question what he says, he just leaves the room and tells you not to come back. He has no compassion. If you want to feel like a pay cheque and a nuissance, hes the right doctor for you. If you actually care about your health and well-being, I suggest you find another doctor.

Poor bedside manners and people skills. Acts superior and arrogant. Wants patients to clean up his office while they are waiting. Very poor technical knowledge. Does not promote a level of confidence in his skill set. Should of retired years ago. Lacks the current medical knowledge to be admitted to med school. Recomended he work as a nursing assitant (while being supervised) for a year to improve already poor skill set. Overall patient rating of this "doctor"-0.

Worst experience i’ve ever had. Dr.Holton has no bedside manner whatsoever, he is narcissistic and rude to his patients, making them feel stupid and incompetent. I will never refer anyone to him, and will never go back myself either.

Heard comments right from the begin that you would find your experience at this office very unpleasant. At this point would have to say that is true. Doctor comes across arrogant but given the fact he is old and been around for a long time give benefit of doubt that he has the best interest of his patients at heart. The office staff (particularly the reception who tells you she has been there 18 years) are just simply rude and unpleasant and appear to be running a scam with their missed appointment side business.
When the doctor indicates a followup in six months the staff unilaterally makes the appointment in their computer system (without patients input or knowledge) and when you call into make the followup appointment as you needed to wait until closer to the six month period because of your work schedule and other engagements, the rude receptionist will tell you that you missed your appointment 3 days ago and that the $25 cancellation fee must be paid in cash (no debit or creditcard) before appointment can be ontained and when you question her about the appointment you never made, she will tell you, you did make the appointment in a very rude way... (its her word against your word that you had never made the followup appointment) and how she has been working there for 18 years and never had a compliant, which is highly unlikely given the reviews indicate here that they are running a scam collecting cash for missed appointments that patient never made or confirmed.
