Dr. Atkinson and her MA Naomi were absolutely fabulous..first time at this practice, with a scary new diagnosis, but they were both great!! The guy who checked me in and the girl that checked me out, were both so nice and professional ??

September 6, 2025

My experience today was not very satisfying, I felt it was just a routine 10 minute doctors visit to get me in and out.

September 4, 2025

I appreciate the entire professional team. Thanks again

Dr. Atkinson has been my least favorite PCP. I think she tries to come across as caring, but her actions show she's just trying to get through the appt as fast as possible. She didn't even follow back up with me to suggest how I might manage the pain. She just left. I honestly don't think she believed me. It's not a good feeling.

August 31, 2025
