February 28, 2025Melanie M.Verified patient

I have been on the lookout for an empathetic and local PCP since I moved here in 2020…this just might be the place I’ve been looking for. I was seen by Spencer, the physicians assistant, which was a bit of a surprise, but it turned out beautifully. He was incredibly professional, honest, a phenomenal listener, empathetic, kind, and thorough. Regarding the annual exam, it included a urine test as well as the expected blood test. They ask you to book a second visit in 2 weeks to review results. I asked Jennifer if we could do the blood test while I was waiting to be seen so I could eat some breakfast and she accommodated. Jennifer, Spencer, and the doctor are all amazing people. I did get the chance to meet the doctor in the hallway after my appointment and she was warm and very kind. There are a couple of plants in the office, too! That made me real happy.

December 23, 2024Debra B.Verified patient

Overall bad experience and did not actually get to see the doctor. Appointment was made the week prior and confirmed again over the phone on the morning of, but office was "closed" for lunch during my appointment time. Arrived 30mins before appointment time and waited 15mins after, total wait of 45mins, and no one bothered to come to the front desk to assist. Could not wait any longer and left before seeing the doctor.

The office was very clean, and the staff was welcoming, considering I was a new patient who needed to be seen urgently. Spencer Ochner, PA, was very attentive and listened to all of my concerns, providing amazing insights and suggestions. It made me consider switching my primary doctor to this location.

July 7, 2026Jasear T.Verified patient

You won’t believe it, but this was my first time visiting a doctor in a long time! He was incredibly kind, professional, and even had a great sense of humor. However, he provided exactly what we needed. Between Dr. Dana and PA Ochner, it was an excellent experience. Both are great at listening to you and making you feel safe.

DPVerified patient

The best GP office I've ever had. The office is very modern and clean, never overcrowded, with friendly staff and providers. Dr Spencer always has time for you. His personality creates a welcoming, friendly environment that makes the experience of treatment feel more like a two sided collaboration rather than a detached one sided authority figure giving orders. You can really feel that he's invested, and that makes all the difference.

WAVerified patient

Spencer is exceptional. He is an attentive listener, highly caring, and extremely knowledgeable.

I met Spencer a year ago when he was assisting Dr. Cernea with a procedure I was having done for arthritis in my knee. After several routine primary care visits with him throughout the year, he has proven to be thorough, attentive, helpful, and kind. He is an outstanding addition to the practice.
