Office staff was helpful and wait time very reasonable; Dr. Meyer apparently had reviewed my (new patient) file before seeing me, and got right to the crux of the matter. Paid attention to my questions and concerns.

She was very honest and personable.
Verified patient
Unfortunately, we were not a good fit. Dr. Meyer's diagnosis was based on x-rays (which when I asked to see since I did not remember them ever being taken, could not be found). My records on the portal were incomplete and did not include details of visits within the last 4 months. It was an uncomfortable visit on so many counts. If you have any interest in your own health and wellness and strive to feel better, this may not be the best practitioner for you.
It was my first visit. I was called to the room less then 1min I finished all the paperwork. The doctor Meyer is a very profissional, knowledgeable person. She knows exactly what is my problem right after I explained my injury. It was very quick, comfortable, friendly and most important very helpful visit. Very nice, professional doctor. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Though professional, I found this MD to be a rather aloof but quite competent. Solution to my problem seemed unsatisfactory. Will seek another MD for further treatment.
Dr. Meyer was friendly and professional. SHe examined my hands carefully and determined what the problem is. As there is nothing that can currently be done to "cure" the situation, she made reasonable suggestions for minimizing discomfort.

Loved Dr. Meyer!

She immediately knew the problem .
Verified patient
Dr. Meyer was excellent! She asked questions to ensure I was satisfied.....She listened to me and treated my injury personally and not just assumed. She is very informative.
Verified patient
Very professional (as a doctor should be). The front desk was efficient and polite and Dr. Meyer asked the right questions, diagnosed the condition and applied treatment quickly and in a warm professional manner.
It was very efficient and thorough. I was worried that it would take too long and I would miss a meeting at work. However, I had no problems getting to my meeting.
Dr. Meyer was very professional. She clearly explained the treatment options for my condition, and delivered and in office treatment during the appointment.
Verified patient
She was very pleasant, patient and addressed all my questions as well as provide an X-ray upon my request. The physical therapist, Dennis, was also very pleasant, polite, upbeat and eager to help. I'm looking forward to my follow-up appointment with Carissa.
Verified patient
She was great. Hope my issue is resolved with this one visit. My beef with the office is having to fill out paperwork ( not the insurance info) that I already filled out in line. What is the point of filling it out on line and then doing it again in the office. The receptionist at the desk could have been a bit friendlier. I work in a customer service business and I know a smile and kind word goes a long way. She failed ! Everyone else was very nice. Would definitely recommend Dr. Meyer and the practice.
Verified patient
Wait time was longer than it should have been is because I think it was my first appointment with Dr.Meyer otherwise she was very quick when it was time to check what happened to me.
Verified patient
It was good!
Dr was thorough. Did not rush my visit.
