Zoc Doc review
“I have visited this clinic for over 25 years. They are always friendly and generally run on time. Providers take time though to listen and allow plenty of time for questions. My wait today was a little long than usual but that is not typical.”

Anita Y.
Zoc Doc review
“…I LOVE this clinic and everyone I have had contact with here. My doctor treats me with respect and looks for my input before making final decisions about medications or referrals. She always takes time to answer questions, and it is clear to me that she remembers me from one visit to the next (and I am not here every week!). Once I needed a PT appointment for dizziness, and they took me in immediately in order that I could get relief quickly. The front desk has always retuned my smiles and good humor.”
