“Maria Iftikhar did a very thorough checkup, she took her time and was actively listening. The staff are very friendly and polite, did follow up call… I never seen such friendly staff since Covid occurred where there was lack of customer service in most clinics. I hope they keep being the same way. ”

Very disappointed that I received a bill for my annual physical. They said because they gave me a referral it was billed as not a physical.
October 1, 2025Sarah M.Verified patient
Excellent provider. Very thorough and took time to listen to all my concerns.
Just a note: She does Pap smears, but no gynecologist in the office.
She was so great that I’m switching my PCP to her!

Maria Iftikhar, PA-C, was exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to address all of my concerns with clear explanations, both verbally and through diagrams. She never seemed rushed and thoughtfully considered other possible causes and symptoms, making me feel well cared for. office staff was timely and polite.

Maria was kind, thorough, and listened to my history and concerns. She asked detailed questions no other provider has ever asked me. It is obvious she cares about patients and enjoys what she does. I’m so glad I found her!
October 25, 2024Saba R.Verified patient
Dr. Iftikhar is the best primary care doctor that I have seen. She listens to understand problems, is extremely thorough, and is pleasant to work with (not to mention - she remembers all the little details about my family and always asks how everyone is doing and how things are going in life). Thank you for all that you do!

PA Maria was fantastic. She listened to my concerns, considered family history I shared, and didn’t minimize anything. She ordered thorough bloodwork and was on top of recommendations specific to my situation. Her demeanor is lovely, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her.

I liked to PA very much. She took the time to listen to me and did a full physical with blood tests. I will be back in March for a follow up and will see the PA. Very glad I found her after my doctor retired.
