Zachary R.

Very pleased. I have came here for years for my mom, and the staff and her doctor here has always been kind, professional, and deliberate in her care. I recently was referred to them from my primary, and I was quite happy when I learned I’d be going there, since I knew what to expect, and I wasn’t disappointed. They were good, and quick to discuss my concerns and I feel empowered to be part of my healthcare journey!

Jody D.

Everyone from the reception desk to the Doctor (NP) was kind and polite. They were very helpful, and showed a true caring nature.

I was seen by S. Zeilstra, we had a good discussion, and he treated me with respect. We came to an agreement on how to proceed figuring out how to go forward.

Very positive experience. Don is always patient and explains everything very well and answered all of my questions.

Tonya V.

Staff was courteous and professional. I was seen almost immediately. The PA I saw was thorough and explained things well. He outlined possible approaches to treat the issue, took my thoughts and concerns into consideration and together we agreed on a plan. Would recommend.

Mickey M.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful. They called me at home when the Dr. was running late so I would not have to sit and wait in the lobby. That was very helpful.

Dan C.

Very polite people and very professional. Very satisfied.

My son had an appointment with Dr. Walling JR.
He was very methodical with getting information about my son's physical condition.
