?Dr was very pleasant

Yes
April 24, 2025Dinitia L.Verified patient
Staff was pleasant from the front desk to the clinical team to the phlebotomists, being both willing and able to assist in meeting needs. The wait time to be seen was shorter than expected and I actually had my appointment with who I booked on ZocDoc (doesn’t always happen). You can tell they care about your wellbeing as Joy made recommendations for my overall health and the lab team strongly encouraged me to drink water as I came in slightly dehydrated. Overall it was a positive experience and I would come back again.

It was hard for me to go and get back to a doctor and I have to say you guys made it so comfortable it was a very pleasant experience.
I was also directed to a dentist which I desperately needed. So thank you very much for your time and patience. I look forward to coming back and recommending this facility to others

I didn't think I would be able to find a doctor that I would like as much as my past Doctor. She makes me feel comfortable and ease, along with her nurse. I plan to keep her for a long time.
