Physicians are leaving - lost Dr Miriam Parker and now Dr Nomi Traub is possibly leaving as well. The construction was disruptive with construction workers sharing the patient entrance. I would hate to have to find another PCP. I do love Dr Orija.

Dr. Orija was extraordinary in the time he took to review my case, discuss it with me and examine me re: a long-term but elusive condition that has been examined from many different perspectives in many different ways over the years. He final helped pull all these "loose ends" together in a way that made sense and helped me understand my best option for the future. He may not be the one to actually follow me in the future (he explained his specialty is not the appropriate one for my circumstances but did refer me to what he believed is) but if I or a family member ever has need of an endocrinologist again in the future I will definitely call. The only real drawback is his waiting list but if your situation is such you can wait it is worth it.
