“Incredibly friendly staff. Dr. Takem was lovely and listened to me as a new patient and took my issues seriously. He actually asked how my mental health was in the midst of a lot of stress I was going through which I really appreciated. He has been the first PC to actually be concerned with not just my physical health but my mental health as well. I was very impressed by the overall experience. ”
