Everything was very good, the care was excellent. I really liked the doctor's care, and the care I received before the doctor's appointment as well. Everything was great.

Monique at the front desk did an outstanding job with checking me and she answered my questions. Her customer service is always amazing. Taylor did a good job with updating my EPIC information and taking my vitals. I was pleased to see how she helped me tracked my most recent medication. As for Dr. Pratibhu, he goes above and beyond to make sure he answers all of my questions, and I am forever grateful how he doesn't make me feel rushed to go the next patients. He has excellent bedside manners which have become loss on many physicians. Thanks Dr. P, Taylor, and Monique for making this a great visit and experience.

Yes, those young ladies up front were very courteous, very nice, and the doctor was, I was actually surprised how long he stayed in the room with me and asked me a lot of questions about my issue. It seems like a lot of doctors nowadays just get you in and out, but he really took his time and listened to me, and I appreciate that. Thank you.

Dr. P is absolutely the best. I wish all the doctors were as caring and concerned and takes the time to talk to his patients, understand his patients, to help his patients. He is just the absolute best. He's awesome. I can't say enough good things about him. And I will not change from him. Even though I have to drive a good distance and it takes a while, I will not change. I will absolutely not change. My cousin has him as a doctor as well and she loves him as well. I will recommend him to anybody and everybody. Now the billing department is a different story. I've had issues and issues and issues. I do not compliment them at all. But because of the doctor, I will continue to stay with him and I'll just have to deal with the issues.

With my epilepsy it's my illness the Dr is trying to stop with medication it's just frustrating to me that my body doesn't want to work with the medicines the Dr is doing everything he can possibly do it's just a hard thing to do with Day by day not being able to get my disability now I'm going to have to go back to forty hours on my job and with being diagnosed with Refractory epilepsy it's a hard thing to live & go day by day not knowing when the seizures are going to be hitting me but the Dr is doing everything that he possibly can & I highly appreciate his caring about my illness

The two ladies at the front desk seemed like I was an inconvenience to them walking in. No smile or saying hello. Looking down at their phones. Same thing at checkout.

Dr. P is absolutely the best. I wish all the doctors were as caring and concerned and takes the time to talk to his patients, understand his patients, to help his patients. He is just the absolute best. He's awesome. I can't say enough good things about him. And I will not change from him. Even though I have to drive a good distance and it takes a while, I will not change. I will absolutely not change. My cousin has him as a doctor as well and she loves him as well. I will recommend him to anybody and everybody. Now the billing department is a different story. I've had issues and issues and issues. I do not compliment them at all. But because of the doctor, I will continue to stay with him and I'll just have to deal with the issues.

The staff was wonderful. Temi was very friendly and helpful with the check in process. The MA, Mirina?, was very nice and reviewed all of my meds. Doctor Pratibhu was very thorough. He reviewed my history and asked questions. He also asked me if I had any questions. He never made me feel rushed. He saw me right at my appointment time

I had one of the best experiences today. Everyone was exceptional. It started at the reception desk and continued on with the doctor's assistant. Once I met Dr. Pratibhu, I felt very comfortable with him. He was a good listener and was very thorough in his explanations.

Bloodborne pathogen protocol and simple safety measures are missing - provider did not re-glove after leaving and returning to the room. Medications are drawn before patient is in the room lacking knowledge of what medication was administered and if precautions were taken.

Dr. Pratibhu has always been extremely knowledgeable and had empathy for my condition. I have always been impressed with his performance as a physician and treatment plan for me.

In the four years since my ordeal i haven't meet such a careing and kind doctor as this. He really took the time to listen and address my concerns. I can't pronounce his name but i am truly grateful for such a caring, compassionate,informative, kind soul as this.

October 9, 2025

Yes, those young ladies up front were very courteous, very nice, and the doctor was, I was actually surprised how long he stayed in the room with me and asked me a lot of questions about my issue. It seems like a lot of doctors nowadays just get you in and out, but he really took his time and listened to me, and I appreciate that. Thank you.

I absolutely loved my doctor. I've never had a doctor validate my feelings and experiences and get me the proper testing and care I needed. Give that man a raise <3

Monique at the front desk did an outstanding job with checking me and she answered my questions. Her customer service is always amazing. Taylor did a good job with updating my EPIC information and taking my vitals. I was pleased to see how she helped me tracked my most recent medication. As for Dr. Pratibhu, he goes above and beyond to make sure he answers all of my questions, and I am forever grateful how he doesn't make me feel rushed to go the next patients. He has excellent bedside manners which have become loss on many physicians. Thanks Dr. P, Taylor, and Monique for making this a great visit and experience.

Everything was very good, the care was excellent. I really liked the doctor's care, and the care I received before the doctor's appointment as well. Everything was great.
