The front desk lady was so nice and then such a friendly nurse came to do my vitals. I really liked my doctor... this was my 1st time seeing her. And the lady at the checkout desk was so very kind as well. I am so very sorry that I did not remember their names but I would definitely recommend them and will come back if ever necessary again. Thank you so much ladies!

Doctor Joan was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and has showed me so much compassion it's I can't even describe how happy I am every other doctor in every other field has just blown me off, but Miss Joan took her time with me and heard me she listened. She is amazing and I'm so grateful for her.

I really appreciate the concern that Dr. Joan Ekane showed for me and my condition. She explained what she said she believed the possible cause and treatment could be and what I should expect for the next few weeks to a month. I liked that she didn't try and blow me off or talk "over my head" and instead was forthright and upfront about her thoughts and keeping me up on the developments. I like this very much. Thank you Dr. Ekane.

I was very impressed with this office. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and I didn't feel like a number here, they seemed genuinely concerned with my problems. My doctor was phenomenal, she really looked at everything I had gone through medically and my current plans and helped me navigate how to deal with this unusual diagnosis without turning my life upside down. She was great, I wish I could see her for all my problems! The staff was also very friendly, caring, patient and helpful. And everything being right on MyChart just simplifies life.
