I was looking forward to this appointment and I had to call then. They didn't even let me know that they needed more information 10 minutes prior to my appointment. I highly do not recommend this practice to anybody.

This was a very wonderful experience. I usually have terrible experiences at doctors (really long wait times, bad bedside manner, negative attitude from staff) so I was so pleasantly surprised to be treated so nicely here. This was my first time at this office and honestly I feel very comfortable going back. Thanks to everyone in the office for being kind and professional.

Verified patient
My appointment with Dr. Festa was to determine why I was experiencing vertigo and problems with balance. Dr. Festa was very friendly, listened to everything I had to say very patiently. Asked pertinent questions about my history and my symptoms. I brought all of my supplements and medications with me and he noted all of them on his laptop. The office staff and the lab technician were also very pleasant. I liked Dr. Festa so much that I chose him for my new Pcp.
Verified patient

Also a bonus- the staff was super friendly. Even if I didn’t have much interaction, the smiles said it all!

This place is amazing, the staff is really friendly and nice, and Dr Festa was extremely helpful, and listened to everything I said.
Verified patient
Great experience. Will be back.
The Doctor was a very good listener, and gave a positive feedback on the diagnosis that was needed. I will be using him as my primary doctor going forward?
Verified patient
Dr. Festa was very attentive and helpful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has ever felt rushed with a healthcare professional. The doctor took his time and made me feel listened to. The location is a bit odd to get to. Thats the only minor issue. If you use GPS you'll go to the wrong entrance. the whole place is under construction and you need to get to the RED signs that point to a driveway and then proceed to the sign on the left that says Doctors Office Parking. Park and proceed through brown double doors. don't let the unfinished appearance deter you from a great doctor! overall good experience.
Verified patient
today was my first appointment and it went wonderful! They understood my medical conditions and were very thorough. I will def be keeping them
Verified patient
