Phenomenal experience! From the energy I received as I walked into the door till the time I left. The office was clean organized and cozy; I literally felt like I was at home. I teared by the time I left just because I knew all the time my MA and JoEllen Embry spent with me meant how much they cared about my concerns. So many years I ve had doctors telling me to live with something or deal with it when my new care team is actually making the effort to help me. I feel so blessed! Thank you Thank you.

I am usually very nervous eat doctor s appointments especially when I am by myself. JoEllen was very kind and thorough and the nurse I think her name was Rebecca was very kind a friendly. Definitely made me feel very comfortable.

My appointment with Joellen was amazing. I have never had someone explain things to me in a way that I could truly understand. You felt cared about as soon as you got there and as soon as you started talking with her you could tell how knowledgeable she was. She took so much time to go over every detail with me and I have never experienced that or felt like my healthcare provider cared so much about helping me like I did here. I m so excited to continue to work with them!
