I recently had a new patient visit with Dr Newhouse. I found her to be knowledgeable and responsive. She took the time to answer the questions I had and provided me with some very helpful information. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.

Review for Dr. Beall

I have been seeing Dr Block for at least 25 years - and I would not want to see anyone else. He is kind, gentle, personable and professional. He also has a great sense of humor and has put me at ease through all of my GYN health issues over the years. Simply the best!

Review for Dr. Block

Dr. Kariya explained my CT results in a manner which was easy to comprehend while showing me the comparison exams which occurred six months apart. He is very interested in his patient’s heath issues and displays a caring attitude. I am fortunate to have him as one of my physicians.
