Dr. Bumgardner is absolutely amazing, I will never look for another primary care physician as long as he's available! And I was thrilled that Rachel came with him when he moved, she is the best!! Dr. B is compassionate, caring, empathetic, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in his patients. Clone him, this man is the type of doctor that everyone deserves!! I do wish he were still on Nicholson Dr. however, that location was the absolute best!!

I always have a wonderful experience from this provider and the staff. As a matter of fact I was referring 2 different people to this provider earlier today. I wish thank this group for helping me.

01/15/2025

Every concern I had, even in the back of my mind, was addressed with patience, kindness, and competency. This was a second opinion visit, and I finally have some hope.

01/14/2025

The doctor was very great and I really like how he treated me and took his time.

01/10/2025

The visit was perfect. I wasn't required to wait. The staff was efficient and attentive. The doctor was engaged and extremely helpful. More clinics should work this well.

Dr. B is, by far, THE best doctor I have ever seen! He is the most compassionate, caring, understanding, respectful, intelligent doctor I've had the pleasure of dealing with, he's the best! From always answering all of my questions to working to find what would be the very best solution to whatever issue I bring to him, Dr. B takes his time, offers me options, lays out the pros and cons of each decision and fully backs me up whatever decision I make. He makes me feel heard and human, I can't count the times I've cried happy tears upon leaving his office because I felt so heard and validates. I'm not just a fat woman with a problem to him, he overlooks my weight if it has nothing to do with the problem I came to see him for, he knows that he and I both know I need to lose weight and he doesn't nag me with it at every visit! He treats me as a person with feelings and I can never thank him enough for how wonderful he is at each and every visit! I never feel rushed, I always feel like I can ask any question I need answered and I always leave satisfied that we've found a solution! And his staff is as fantastic as he is! Super, super sweet and always so cheerful and welcoming!! Seriously, clone this doctor and his staff and place them at ALL clinics and you'd never get a complaint again, these are some of your finest employees!!

I've never met such an awesome team that cohesively work so well together. There's no words to express how grateful and thankful I am to GOD for placing this team in my path. What they do over there at that office is a true example of humanity. They go over and beyond for their patients, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed! I want to thank them, they are truly appreciated!

Dr. Bumgardner is truly the best doctor I've ever seen. He genuinely listens to me and goes above and beyond to help me. And if he can't help, he's wonderful about referring me to someone that he personally trusts, which I appreciate. He genuinely cares about me and my health and I am very thankful to have him as my primary! Every incoming resident should spend time with him to learn how to be like him, he's amazing! I can't say enough good things about him, he truly is a wonderful doctor!!
