We were a little disappointed at seeing a PA rather than a physician (after driving 2 hours to get there), but it seems understandable for a first visit, and she was very kind and helpful.

So far never had a bad experience, only once the Dr was nice and polite but I just didn't get the feedback from him I expected from a Doctor

I was so grateful to be able to get a same day appointment. I was in pain, the provider helped me a lot. I think she is very good at her job. And the person on the phone was very caring

The provider was very knowledgeable. She provided me expert care. I have every confidence in her abilities. She was going to listen to my concerns and questions. She included my input into the care plan we decided on together.
