I have been to this clinic a couple of different times. I went to this clinic on 04/30/19 and I instantly saw the new upgrades, front lobby clean with new paint and chairs and the staff at the counter were very nice. The offices were all repainted and very pretty. The medical assistant was very nice and the nurse practitioner that I seen (Natasha) was very caring and took the time with me to listen and come up with a treatment plan for me, along with education on my condition and how to prevent it. It is a very nice place at a very reasonable price. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone. I’m telling my entire family and my friends to come here. A very happy patient.
