I was able to get in very fast to my appointment. Front desk staff was patient and helpful. The assistant took me back and made me feel very relaxed and welcome. Doctor was very nice and did a great job listening to what concerns I had. He followed up with a few questions to really try to find the root of some problems instead of just jumping to write a prescription. Didn’t pressure me into getting any shots etc. Check out process was easy and quick. I would recommend Dr. Stinson and his staff to anyone looking around.

Always a chill and great time when I have to go. I very much appreciate Doc S. and all the staff. Everyone is so wonderful when I’m there.
Verified patient
I relocated to the area a few years ago-changing doctors was a chore. The PCP I went to first didn’t take the time listen, or check my chart!, she tried to prescribe a medication I was already on which would have doubled my dosage ?????, the office staff was less than ideal, getting an appointment was a hassle. I was hesitant about establishing with a male PCP but Dr Stinson’s positive reviews won me over. Booking the appointment was super easy, the new patient pre app ppwk was easy to get through online. Everyone was prompt, friendly & efficient. Seems to be a well run office! Dr. Stinson was engaging, asked questions, listened to my concerns/history, made recommendations, gave me a referral for a specialist & -most importantly-took the time to establish a rapport with me, all of which helped alleviate my initial hesitations. 5 stars across the board. I’m happy to be partnered with Dr Stinson, I feel confident that I’ll get excellent medical care & advice from him & his team.

It is always a little more difficult for someone who has worked in health care with advanced degrees to find a physician, mainly due to high standards and expectations. Dr. Stinson did not disappoint. He has an incredible bedside manner; he is friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I think I found my long term primary care doc!
