Dr. Mutua was kind and patient. She listened to my concerns and wanted to know more about my health history and my reasons for coming to the doctor. My appointment started early and didn’t feel rushed. I also appreciated that I was able to get referrals and those offices reached out to me the next day to schedule appointments. It was a very streamlined process. I will be making Dr. Mutua my PCP and look forward to my next visit with her. Thank you, ZocDoc!

I would highly recommend Dr. Mutua. I made an appointment as a new patient and everything about my appointment was smooth from start to finish. The office is clean and front desk staff are helpful. Dr. Mutua has a calm and kind bedside manner, made sure to take time to understand my health history and what I was looking for in preventive care, and walked me through the blood tests we were ordering to ensure I had full understanding of why (and offered me the choice not to order tests if I didn’t feel they were necessary). Great experience and I’ll be returning for my annual physical next year!
January 11, 2025Alana D.Verified patient
Dr. Mutua was great! She was friendly, kind and took time to get to know me as a new patient. The staff in the office were friendly and welcoming. It was my first time at this office and being seen by Dr. Mutua. My wait time was not long at all and my visit was not long either. I highly recommend this physician.
January 10, 2025Danielle A.Verified patient
Dr. Mutua has a very kind and patient approach. I felt like she was thoughtful with her questions and very good at listening to my concerns. She suggested some next steps with my healthcare, but never came off as pushy.
January 8, 2025Natalia T.Verified patient
Great experience. Glad I found her on ZocDoc.

Dr. Mutua is great, but be prepared, they will charge you separately for every. Single. Thing. They do. I have a “great” BCBS PPO, had already hit my out-of-pocket max, and somehow still was charged $75 for a primary care office visit about a cold. Eye roll.
Do NOT come here unless you’re willing to pay 2-3x for the same appointment. When I pushed back about the charges, they said it was “customary” to charge multiple codes per visit, so beware.
January 3, 2025Antonina L.Verified patient
Nurse/tech Betty was wonderful. Made the preliminary’s easy and drawing blood with no pain. Dr. M was great. Wonderful bedside manner. Conversational without being condescending. Thorough without it feeling like an inquisition. Took her time do I did not feel rushed.Could not ask for better first visit. Highly recommend.

I had a great appointment with Dr Mutua! She took a lot of time and was very friendly and helpful as I am new to the USA and looking for a primary care provider.
