Patient Comments

November 23, 2019I am well pleased with this Medical Practice.
November 21, 2019If your hospital can find a way to clone Dr. Day, do it. She is by far the best, most understanding, most compassionate doctor I have ever had. Don't lose her. She's a gem.
November 21, 2019Dr Day, MD, always knocks, opens the door with a beautiful smile. She asked how I been feeling, and went to her computer. She went over medications; asked about visit to Dr Namen, MD, and inquired if Dr Namen told me how long I would be taking Elqiuis, and my next appointment. We then discussed visit with Dr Hampshire. Dr Day then examine me, then ask me if I needed flu shot, which I received from Dr Namen. Dr Day always exhibits compassion, concerns, and what is best too, for a healthier future. Her expertise is extroidanary, and words could express all my gratitude.
