The staff was nice, but I booked thinking she was a dermatologist. I should have looked closer at her profile. They put more focus on asking me to schedule a physical.

As a pediatrician who was seen by her (without mentioning my background), I was truly impressed by how thorough, compassionate, and detail-oriented she was. She took the time to listen, explain, and ensure every concern was addressed. Her professionalism and kindness stood out the most. She’s wonderful, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care. I would definitely go back!

This was a very good appointment, I learned a lot today about my visit and the doctor, A1 service, I recommend for anybody looking for a primary physician.
September 19, 2025Kavin S.Verified patient
Loved the Doc. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. staff friendly and knowledgeable as well. Didn’t like the wait time. If you know your doctor is running behind let your patience know and when they check in and how long it’ll be so they are able to decide if they want to stay or come back later or another day.
