What Our Patients Are Saying

This is the first time I met Brooke as my health provider at this office. She was kind, respectful, and a good listener. As my visit was ending, she asked if I had any further questions for her, which I appreciated.
excellent medical appointment. the PA I saw was patient, kind and knowledgeable. he was able to understand my issues and promptly scheduled a follow up
Was able to get my appt quickly
Excellent nurse practitioner, listened to my concerns, made a plan moving forward, sincere and kind.
It took several minutes before I was called back to a exam room. But pink shoes called me back. Did vitals and asked a few questions, then left the room. In a matter of seconds Don came into the room did his exam, wrote me a script for lab work, and I was on my way out. Quick exam.
First time coming and the ladies up front were so welcoming and my doctor was so helpful with helping me find different ways to go about treatment
Short wait to see doctor Walling, attentive staff, good consultation with Dr Walling and able to make next appointment immediately
The entire staff doctors are friendly and professional.
Dr khadra Mohammed is such an awesome doctor she explains everything very clearly and makes u feel like she truly cares about helping you
From front desk through exam room professional staff, all were pleasant and efficient and after listening to my concerns, followed up with information and. necessary appointments.
