The staff is friendly and vibrant. The office is neat, a bit cold. I wish there was more disposable barriers for surfaces to prevent contamination between patients on chairs during check ups/procedures when skin is exposed.

April 8, 2026Stephen B.Verified patient
Came in looking for a new primary doctor
April 7, 2026James S.Verified patient
Great office staff but the doctor specifically was dismissive, minimized my concerns, and seemed like I was generally bothering them or making up what I was feeling. They even attributed my symptoms to psychological causes. Appreciate that they ordered the panel I needed but will be consulting an endocrinologist elsewhere about the results. Unfortunately can’t recommend.
