I came in today to get my hand and wrist rechecked. The doctor who was looking into it today was highly disrespectful and gave me no service. He came into the room without even looking at my hand and wrist and said I was good to go. After telling him my pain was a 10/10 and that it felt like something in my hand was popping, he then still showed disrespect and treated me as if I was nothing. This doctor was Geoffrey River I would never recommend being looked at or treated by him

We go go here often enough. Everyone is friendly and professional. Staff has been great all around. Care and treatments, no issues. Wait times vary, sometimes quick even with many people, other times slow even when no one is there or has left, it still takes a long while before being called.

My elderly mom needed a new PCP, we were very happy with our first visit. Everything was done promptly. She felt very welcome and comfortable , thanks to the doctor and the support staff. I will most likely bring more of my family members here.
