Review for Dr. Blaize

I have been a patient of Dr. Thaxton for over 30 years. He has always been attentive, caring and knowledgeable. He will do whatever it takes to ensure the best possible outcome for his patients. I would highly recommend him.

Review for Dr. Eaker

Needed a quick appt 11 years ago & as a new patient, I asked for “first available” physician, which led me to Dr. Lindman. I’ve had to see him a handful of times over the last ten years and would recommend to anyone!
