Unsatisfactory Experience
However, one reviewer, Sandra Copley, had a disappointing experience at the practice. She had an appointment with JamieLee, but was refused treatment due to her exemption from wearing a mask. Sandra felt that she was not notified of this policy prior to her appointment and would have sought alternative treatment if she had known.
Unsatisfactory Experience
Sandra Copley had a unpleasant experience at the practice. She visited as she was in pain, but JamieLee refused to treat her even though she was unable to wear a mask for medical reasons.
