Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It started out great
Lately its hard to get an app in a decent time frame. Last time i was ill i had to wait a week to be seen. The front desk asked do i really need it, dont i think ill be better by then? What kind of care is that? Now i cant get anyone to return calls after i had questionable labs come back from dec 8th. I had diabetic numbers and still do but no one has rechecked or gave me meds to help. I have left several messages! I have several of the symptoms besides high blood sugar numbers. Poor follow thru or care.

Excellent primary care doctor
Dr Opalka (and Becky, NP) are both wonderful and take time with me each visit. I never feel rushed and always feel listened to. I’ve recommended this office to family members.

I am sitting here 11 min late because I just came from a sleep study, and they pushed me away. I let them know when I scheduled that I was coming from a sleep study. As far as the doc, you never see. Only the nurse practitioner. Been coming here for years and never seen the doc even in the office. DO not go here. AWFUL PEOPLE. You will regret and see how dead they are ? There is a reason no reviews and always an empty office. Now I must go get second opinion on all they told me. She is literally on the phone while I am here charging somebody else $75 for being late as well. Apparently taking advantage of people during covid is the new business model with this office. Set appointments and then charge if you are 10 min late. The photo I share is time stamped 11 min after my apt time. Not exaggerating.

Always takes time to listen to issues to get the right diagnosis, instead of just, here take another pill. Uses tests to prove or disprove diagnosis, taking our the guessing game. Some time you have to wait, but I firmly believe that is part of the haveing a quality physician.

Dr. Opalka stays up to date on new medical procedures and medications. The most impressive thing about her patient care is that she spends as much time as is needed by the patient, listens to the patient and explains procedures and options in clear terms that keeps me informed and comfortable.

I came down with a terrible virus out of nowhere and once again Barbara and Becky worked to get me in that day. As a teacher/coach I greatly appreciate the care I receive and their ability to get me in quickly
