"I gave this a 1 star only because the staff at the front desk are dismissive and rude... the doctors are great but the front desk are not and they definitely need to get some new staff in there that genuinely care for the patients also."
- LocalityBiz (Adult Medicine)"Sheena Ames is the best doctor that i have dealt with in a long time. She genuinely cares and sits down and takes time to listen to your concerns and then forms a plan of action. I haven't seen this from a doctor in a long-time. She is truly a blessing to her profession."
- LocalityBiz (S. Division Street Family Medicine)"At one time I would have given a five star review, but unfortunately now I feel like this practice has failed my daughter terribly... Most of the staff there is amazing and supportive. We are just very hurt and disappointed with the administration’s decision on this."
