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.

Wonderful
I have been seeing Irene for about 2 years. Grateful to have found a Dr. that never makes me feel like they are rushing thru my appointment. She listens to all my concerns and sets up the appropriate tests to dig deeper into finding out what is going on if not easily diagnosed at the appointment. Would highly recommend to anyone. Nothing but great experiences with her and the staff in her office.

Won’t refill diabetic meds
Refused to fill diabetic meds for a type 1 diabetic. States needs to be seen by endocrinology when scheduled appointment is 5 months out. Why can’t she see that scheduled appointment and take that into consideration? Now having to refer to urgent care to see if meds can be filled before ending up in ER. Very frustrating.

Irene always takes time with me. I had several issues to be addressed and I feel like she really listens and gives great advice. She also let's me give input to what treatment I want. I highly recommend her as a fantastic family medicine provider.

Irene takes the time to truly listen to all of my issues then immediately comes up with a plan. She follows up making sure nothing is missed or overlooked. Her bedside manner makes going to the office a pleasure instead of a chore. I truly don't know what I would have done without her care over the last few years. She is amazing!

Hands down the best primary care provider I've ever had! Irene listens to what you have to say and takes action on your concerns. She is very easy to talk to and extraordinarily knowledgeable. I have recommended her to several friends and they have all been as impressed as I am. I cannot say enough good things about her. I have complex medical issues and she communicates well with and coordinates my care with my multidisciplinary team. On a scale of 5 she deserves 10 stars.
