Well the wait as many other reviewers said is quite long. The place itself has barely any close parking without paying by meter and the inside is not as clean as some other Dr.s places Ive been but...Dr. Michel was actually a great Dr! First impression could have been better but he was professional and really listened to my concerns. So worth the wait and I think I may switch my primary Drs.

I’m so glad I chose Dr. Michel to be my primary physician. I took a chance after finding him on ZocDoc and I’m glad I did. He’s always pleasant and goes the extra mile to help.

Pleasent visit the first time, I have to really get to know them did not meet the doctor yet but I should on my next visit
Verified patient
The doctor was professional and attentive. Some of his staff however needs to have training with customer service.
I was impressed with how clean his office is and how friendly everyone was. Choosing him for my family doctor.
Verified patient
The visit went well but it took 1.5 hours to reach the doctor's office because of the distance and traffic.
He's a great doctor with a great staff, and I recommend him to everyone.
Verified patient
Excellent service, glad I made the right choice for my primary doctor
Verified patient
The wait time was horrible. Dr. Michel is awesome despite the wait.
Verified patient
Very attentive. Waiting area is small and there was a long wait.
Dr. Michel was great he listened, I like that about a Doctor.
Verified patient
The workers at the front desk need to be more organized.
Very nice office. Very helpful staff. But very slow.

Verified patient
The wait time was awful! I was the second patient in the office when it opened in the morning. They kept me waiting for over an hour. If you schedule an appointment you'd think you would be seen by a doctor at some time around then. Not here you wont. I would not recommend for anyone.
Verified patient
I’m so glad I chose Dr. Michel to be my primary physician. I took a chance after finding him on ZocDoc and I’m glad I did. He’s always pleasant and goes the extra mile to help.
Verified patient
I showed up for my appointment 15 minutes early. The waiting room was loud with multiple people talking on their cell phones and cursing. Typically this wouldn't bother me but it was relentless for my 2 hour and 15 minute wait. By the time I finally saw the doctor the first thing he said to me was "hold on" and then spent two minutes texting on his phone. He also kept making jokes about how I looked like a teenager, which again typically wouldn't bother me but after a 2.25 hour wait was just irritating.
Dr. John Michel is great. Excellent bedside manners, really wants to help you and get you feeling better. The wait time was short which is great.
Verified patient
The staff take good care of patients, and they are very flexible to place your next appointment or lab work. Honestly I love them and you have to try them as well.
Verified patient
They didn't have the confirmation.
Verified patient
My experience was great. The location was convenient and the staff was very nice. I would definitely consider keeping Dr. Michel as my primary care physician.
Verified patient
He's a attentive doc, happy I found him! Staff were also great, over all no concerns other than the usual wait you find at any Doctors office the wait is always bad
My visit was good. Seems like allot of the patients have been going there for awhile the staff knew most people by their first name.
Dr Michel is so understanding and empathic, i cant imagine anyone else as my primary doctor. Most doctors are very arrogant and have made thier desicion regarding you based on your apperance. He looks past that. He listens to you and i found that ive found a doctor who can understand me and no sterotype me. That kind of doctor who has apathy towards you may get you killed. Be honest with him and you will get assisted with the utmost respect.
Verified patient
All around bad! he took 2 phone call during the 5 minutes he was in the room with me. The ladies at the front desk assumed I was there For a drug to help with painkiller addiction Witch I wasn't just went for a check up.
Stood in front of receptionist for over 5 minutes before being acknowledged. Then sat for almost an hour before being called DESPITE having an appointment. No call to confirm appointment. Would not recommend
It was ok the wait time was long and there's No parking, I got a $26 parking ticket :( People were friendly I would go back if they had a place for me to park with out getting a ticket.
