Office staff were pleasant. Nursing assistant (Paul?) was friendly and engaging. Wait time was reasonable. Dr. Pridgen is informal in presentation, seems extremely knowledgeable, and has an excellent relaxed manner when speaking with patients. I would recommend her as a physician.

She was excellent. The office got me in for an appointment immediately. DR. Pridgen took time to understand my health issues, and to explain her conclusions. I have already recommended her to several relatives, including my mother.
