Great service and excellent Dr.

08/27/2025

My appointment was timely, and Dr. Sam listens and gives good advice. Doesn’t rush through the appointment.

08/26/2025

She seems more concerned with her agenda than what a patient is requesting services for. In March, I requested a skin tag removal and STD testing. She told me because I had a hysterectomy. She didn't listen to me and failed to follow through after my first visit. Today she only softened her approach once I became emotional and crying. I will never recommend her to anyone I know and if it wasn't so hard to get another provider I would switch today.

08/20/2025
