I was very nervous about my appointment, but when I saw Dr Sarah, she made me feel very at ease. She was very nice and very easy to talk to. If I have any more problems, I will definitely see her again.

I loved her ! She suggest a colonoscopy and i'm not looking forward to it but her bedside manner was so excellent that i feel great and respect her plan.

My visit with Dr. Baker was extremely informative and helpful. She even took the time to call me after my visit to discuss results she received and patiently guided me with the information I needed to make the right decisions about my care. She came highly recommended by two different doctors from two completely different offices, and I understand why!

07/09/2025

Made me feel completely comfortable and talked me through everything and was the first doctor willing to offer me a long term solution to my issues instead of a bandaid.

I'm in the middle of a bit of a health scare at this time. I chose your facility based on several referrals. I am so very pleased that I took the advice. This is a scary time for me and the ENTIRE environment and staff (on all levels) have been kind, warm, eager to help and professional. I am well pleased with the services I have received to date. I continue the process to find an answer through BRG because my experience has been a 10. Thank you all very much for making a difficult time so much easier.
