Taylor was super awesome. She carries herself in a way that is the most perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable, while also feeling like a friend. She’s easily the best healthcare provider I’ve been to in AGES. On the ride home following my visit I was telling partner that she's the only provider I’ve genuinely been interested in for my PCP. He and I both will be getting care in the future! :)

Today, I had to get my finger stitched up, and I must say, the process was incredibly painful—far more so than the original injury. Despite the unbearable pain, the doctor’s perseverance was commendable, and I appreciate their dedication. A special thanks to the medical staff for their efforts, and to myself for being an absolute beast of a man and enduring the ordeal with remarkable strength to hold back from causing him the same pain and the resilience to finish the job. Hats off to everyone involved!

I got a dot physical. I did not understand the paper work that dmv asked for. I called back and the person who answered the phone took the time to look up what I needed. He told me what I needed to do.

The only reason I didn’t give wait time a 5 star review is because I had scheduled my appointment and did my registration online and I still had to wait about 30 minutes. I expected to wait about 15 minutes but not 30. I probably could have just walked in and waited the same amount of time because I was the only one in the waiting room when I got there. However, on the plus side, I was still called back and attended to promptly before the others who checked in after me were called back.

I have been having issues with extreme dizziness, earache, headaches, nausea, I finally decided to go to Dr to see what was going on and I was informed that I had inner ear. The staff was very friendly and efficient and the nurse and Dr. did an awesome job getting my ear irrigated enough to finally see there was no damage to my ear drum. Thank you all👍

I already was diagnosed with telemedicine but since I was already taking Zofran for my nausea they refused to prescribe me anything but ibuprofen and my symptoms got so bad that I was considering going to the emergency room, tonsils, throat, neck, jaw were all swollen, gums were bleeding, completely lost my appetite and my voice completely, I didn’t even make an Appointment. Didn’t even tell them what I had or how much pain I was in and was seen so quick, even being a new patient walk in!

I was in and out quickly. Staff was great. Problems not resolved. I know arthritis pain. Have had it for years what's going on with me is different. Was told if my thumbs were outta joint they would be bruising. My daughter's elbow was popped outta joint two times with no bruising. So I am dealing with unbearable pain. Will not go back to this facility. My health is not a joke. Do not recommend Colleen Malone. Got x-rays if my hands somewhere else, my thumbs were separated from my hands. So her diagnosis was not right due to just guessing and not taking my injury seriously 😒.
