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.

I receive excellent care each and every time.
Heather was the one I saw on my last visit. She, like Dr. Patel are just the best. The staff is great and always timely for my appointments. They are thorough, answer any questions one has and are very informative.

Amazing
Loved Dr. Patel though I’m sure he is super busy with other patients he took the time to introduce himself and speak to me which I greatly appreciate because anemia seems so minuscule to me compared to others being seen but can I say how I absolutely adore APRN Heather Mixson (I hope I spelled it correctly) amazing personality, made me feel so comfortable, talked me through next course of action/treatment plan, made sure to answer all of my questions and that I was comfortable. Would highly recommend coming here. From the front desk staff to the beautiful ladies that draw blood in the back an overall great experience!

Everybody has always been very accommodating in the office there and I appreciate Dr. Heather who usually is there rather than Dr. Patel. I find both of them acceptable but Dr. Heather really seems to take a personal interest.
