Dr. Surfield and his staff were prompt and friendly. He is very easy to talk to and did an excellent and thorough job of explaining my procedure to me. I was well taken care of and will definitely be back to see him in the future.

Review for Dr. Gregory Surfield, MD
Dr Surfield removed various age spots, skin tags, and a small growth on the side of my nose. All in one visit. And since I’m not a fan of pain, he even took extra time to apply a topical numbing gel prior to the procedures. My recovery was quick and was aided with the use of a topical antibiotic....

Review for Dr. Michael Felter, MD
On the first visit, I provided copies of my MRI discs. they told me the discs did not hold reports. I was able to go home and print off the report. They asked if I could reach out to get a copy of the reports. First of all, that is one of the reasons we pay Dr offices so much. Do your job. I had to...

I have been a patient of Dr. Girvin for just under 10 years now and I could not be happier. He is always willing to take the time to explain things to me or my kids when they have questions.

I never even got to see this Doctor. I waited three weeks for an appointment to have a test to FINALLY hopefully get answers to pain I’ve been experiencing for years.

He had me fooled for the longest time. I thought he was caring and wanted to help treat me. But in reality he didnt do anything. My doctor from 2009-2012. 1) The first thing he did was xrays of my back and found out that i had osteoarthritis and did nothing. He never once informed me that there...

Dr. Keller himself, was very professional but his secretary, or “office manager” as she called herself, is RUDE and has no business dealing with the public.

Last in class is still a Doctor... Does not listen, puts things in report that are inaccurate, bad attitude. Office workers are lazy and have bad attitudes. Worst Doctor I have ever been to.
