Mrs. Kirchner and Dr. Gotta have made a significant impact on my well being. I feel I have finally found people that will help me to feel the best I possibly can. I can't thank them enough.

Betsy Kirchner is really wonderful. I am so grateful for the care she has provided to me for so very long. Every time I go to the Clinic and see Betsy I am grateful for her presence in my life. I am moving to St. Louis, but I will still come back to Betsy for my medical care, although I will probably get a primary care physician in my new home city.

Elizabeth Kirchner is just a marvelous person. She explained things to me that the Doctor was unable to do.

the appointment time was mixed up at the clinic. the provider admitted this. So I had to wait more than one-half hour to see her. but she was very apologetic and courteous and did a fine job.
