New patient appointment took almost 6 months which I understand may be par for the course but still a long wait time.

"Dr. Larson is an amazing primary care provider! He goes beyond to make sure your needs are addressed, and he also ACTUALLY listens and spends time with you, which is becoming more and more rare to come by nowadays. Most physicians are more concerned with charting while with the patient than actually listening and spending time with their patient, which is dangerous and straight out mean. We are NOT numbers! How would you feel if the roles were reversed?
Back to Dr. Larson - He is an asset to my life and my complicated health issues. He is kind, respectful, focused on my care, and goes above and beyond to address my concerns! If you are dealing with complex health issues, and feel like you aren't being seen and heard, give Dr. Larson a go!"

This was our first visit to see Dr. Paul Larson. We had to wait 3 months for a first-time appt (July-Oct) and our previous PCP resigned in Sept, so we had some anxiety about having no doctor until 10/31. Otherwise, everything was A+. My husband and I agreed that Dr. Larson and Julianna were extremely welcoming, he was familiar with our histories and setting up visits for specialists. Great bedside manner. Thank you for taking on new patients. Wonderful experience.

"Most impressive to me was the length of time Dr. Larson and I spent discussing my symptoms and history. He did not rush or appear hurried in any way. He also was very reassuring as he began to form a treatment plan and schedule additional appointments in order to check on my progress.
I have already recommended him to a family member."

I was taken in for my appointment with minimal waiting. Staff was pleasant and courteous. Waiting area and examining room were clean. The only thing that surprised me was that the provider performed my complete exam with me fully clothed. This was my first visit to this office and first time seeing this provider, I was a new patient. I was not asked to undress and put a gown on. I am not sure if this was done to save time or to save on the expense of cleaning the gowns. Either way it made me feel as though corners were cut.

I really liked Dr Paul Larson. He listened very intently and closely to what I was telling him and understood my issues. His kind, caring, patient demeanor and genuine listening skills, are reminiscent of what "Medical care" used to be!! He has, by far... the BEST "Bedside manner" of any doctor I have ever encountered in the last 30 years!!

I was very nervous going to a new PCP. I had the same PCP for many years and she left the practice in June 2022. Dr. Larson and his MA (I'm sorry but I forgot her name) made me feel very comfortable during my appointment. I am so pleased that I found Dr. Larson. The staff at the front window was so pleasant and helpful. They all made me feel like I've been going there forever.

My first appointment with Dr. Larson was very positive. Dr. Larson's medical knowledge, professionalism and friendliness was very welcome to a new patient especially since I am a 78 year old senior. I also appreciated Dr. Larson's eye contact. He made me feel that it was important to him to point me in a direction of continued health.
