Dr. Degan is a great doctor. He allows me to share what's going on and offers multiple options; allowing me to choose the course of action. He never makes me feel rushed or like he's in a hurry.

More than 1 year agoJoshua K.Verified patient
Whoever answered the phone at his clinic was rude and unprofessional. Young staff NEED to learn phone etiquette and stop "all about me" attitude. AS you know, that attitude comes through your tone of voice.
This Dr. NEEDS to accept all forms of insurance; not just the popular.
December 19, 2019Dargis D.Verified patient
Very forward and straight to the point. No wait time, I was early for my appointment and was seen early by Dr Degan. Very professional and look forward to following up routinely for check ups and any other issues that may arise.
More than 1 year agoHunter J.Verified patient
It has been a while since I have been to a doctor. I had a list of things to discuss with him. Dr. Degan was very patient and went through each thing methodically and in great detail. I could not have asked for any better care. This Doc truly cares!!!
November 8, 2019Richard D.Verified patient
He was a great listener. I went in with multiple concerns and he handled each and every single one. I would recommend him to everyone.
August 27, 2019Joshua C.Verified patient
Great visit, friendly staff, and the doctor was very prompt to come and talk with us. Prescriptions were quickly written and he provided us with additional information about the medication.
August 21, 2019Jamie S.Verified patient
Dr. Degan is the best family doctor I’ve ever had. He sees you right away, never rushes you, and listens to what you have to say. He admits when something is out of his area of expertise, always calls himself regarding lab results, and genuinely cares about his patients. He’s super responsive on the Patient Portal and has great availability. Bonus: blood work is done in office! I’ve seen two endocrinologists for my thyroid disorder, but Dr. Degan has been much better at managing my care than them. I will be sticking with him for a long time!
July 24, 2019Tessa W.Verified patient
Always a great experience going to see Dr Degan. Office staff is very sweet and welcoming. I came in early and they got me in right away. Dr Degan was prompt and listens to feedback like always. I was In and out in approx 35-40 mins. Thanks again!
April 30, 2019Esteban G.Verified patient
Front office REQUIRES you to call right then and there in the lobby and change your primary care provider to this doctor before they will see you. Totally not required for my insurance plan as I'm not with an HMO. Classic example of front office mandatory procedures that are not necessary.
Also, apparently the information that I filled out on Zodoc doesn't transmit to this particular office for some reason which meant duplication on my part.
The actual doctor was friendly and seemed very comprehensive in the appointment.
April 23, 2019Brian D.Verified patient
Doctor Degan was thorough in his assessment. He was kind and engaged in conversation about things other than the reason for the visit. It was my first time seeing Dr. Degan, but I've decided to make him my primary care physician based on today's visit.
March 27, 2019Joshua K.Verified patient
We were seen very quickly and Dr. Degan has an excellent bedside manner. I would be glad to have him as my primary form here on out.

January 15, 2019Joe S.Verified patient
Dr. Degan is very professional and compassionate. This was my second visit and both times he has been very thorough, taking time to discuss the issues at hand. He offers multiple options for treatment and comes up with a game plan that is best for the patient and their health/well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Degan!
January 10, 2019Bridget H.Verified patient
They saw me on Christmas Eve! Barely any wait time at all. They called me back before my appointment time to get things started, which I loved. Dr. Degan is kind, understanding and seems to be very knowledgeable. Very happy all around.
December 28, 2018Selena K.Verified patient
Dr. Degan was very professional and took the time to discuss my medical issues in depth with me. The staff was also very nice and there was no wait.
December 20, 2018John E.Verified patient
Dr. Degan was able to explain what was going on in an easy to understand way without being trivial. His manner as completely professional and showed concern. I didn't feel rushed! I was able to discuss different medicine options and felt I was was a partner in my care. I will say that the office staff, while very polite seemed unorganized. I came around lunch, per directions arrived half hour before my appointment and even though there were several office staff, I was greeted by a sign that said "we're at lunch" so I waited for half hour before even receiving my paperwork to complete. Additionally, I called twice to follow-up with their referral person and left messages requesting to reconnect. I never received a call back! I will continue to go back to Dr. Degan but hope that their office improves it's organization and customer support.
December 18, 2018Catherine W.Verified patient
Very caring and professional doctor.
November 30, 2018Michael V.Verified patient
My visit was excellent! Addressed all concerns I was having. I never go to the doctor bc I always feel like I waste my time and that the docs usually just dismiss everything. Dr Dagen actually listened and was very thorough. I also loved my nurse Myesha. I’ve never had blood drawn before but she was amazing and kept me distracted. I didn’t even feel the needle.
