Provider Reviews

I was very happy with Dr. Kareus. I had some bothersome issues with my right arm and was concerned about the cause. He put my mind to rest in a short time and I left feeling much better.

Review for Dr. Kareus

Dr. Sayers is knowledgeable and kind. When I blurted out that I wasn't sure I was safe where I was living she brought in a staff member to help me find new housing quickly. She actually listens and sees and treats the whole person!

Review for Dr. Sayers

Absolutely love how Dr.Etcheverry Works with kiddos! He can communicate with them and help parents ( like me ) understand and better navigate the best health for my son ( 6) . The Professionalism is outstanding. Legit Hope he doesn't retire before My Next Kid is finished growing up

Review for Dr. Etcheverry

I recently had a routine colonoscopy with Dr. Prosser, and as with my previous experience with him, found him to be very professional with a personable bedside manner. I have confidence in his abilities. I found his staff to be approachable and responsive during the scheduling process.
