“Absolutely phenomenal first appointment! Spent some time looking for a PCP and not getting that good feeling when you finally have the appt. NOT THIS TIME. Almost immediately, I felt relaxed and comfortable in Dr. Kara's presence. Thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and put me at ease about things. I've found my new PCP!!”

I currently relocated to Georgia and this visit was to establish care her for my 85 year old mom. The entire experience from beginning to end was great. No wait time to see the Provider. The nurse who triaged my mom was such a sweetheart. The Provider was very nice, attentive, answered all my questions/concerns. I know that the promptness of this visit may not always be the case but it was refreshing to not have to wait an extensive amount of time. I am happy to have found such a great PCP for my mom.

Staff was wonderful. Dr. Kara was personable and down to earth. He took the time to listen and get to know me a bit (as much as can be done on a first appointment). My experience was great and I’ll definitely be going back!
