An outstanding practice - in every way. Greeted when I walked in with an appointment. Helder Rebelo PA is an amazing practitioner. I've been in his care for over 20 some years. His staff is professional, courteous and wonderful. I would never think of going anywhere else when it comes to my primary health care. Am well into my 60's and no way would I go anywhere else for my first line of advice.

I went there this past Saturday with sinus infection, congestion. I saw Dr.Oluwakemi Oreofe Ajibade and she was amazing. She did her due diligence read my file, noticed I have had this re-occurring issue ( this is third or fourth time this happened) suggested that I see specialist, provided a referral as well as medication. She tested me for flu, and Covid and just was spot on. She explained everything and was just wonderful.
