This doctor told us our father was brain dead and need to start thinking about harvesting his orogens transferred him to a different hospital and he’s fine and well now. Imagine how badly that would’ve ended for our family if we stayed. Shame on them.

Review for Dr. Knight

I am a diabetic and Dr. Albright takes really good care of my feet. He listens to my questions and we talk about things that may help with dry skin. He is very attentive. I appreciate how well he takes care of his patients.

Review for Dr. Albright

Dr. Ravago is an exceptional primary care doctor! He is kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explains things clearly. I always feel well cared for and confident in his advice. Highly recommend!

Review for Dr. Ravago Jr

He treated me like if I did not understand English. He jammed his fingers in my hip where I have pain. I had to stop him by grabbing his arm. He never asked me where is my pain. He just looked at me and said you are fine.

Review for Dr. Rasi

He’s a very unprofessional doctor who tries to bully their clients instead of helping. Wouldn’t recommend this doctor to my worse enemy so beware and choose a different doctor.
