Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Chronic pain patient forced to make an in-person v
I have chronic back pain and this in-person visit was stressful for me. They did nothing to examine me in person so it could have been virtual. I felt like I was educating the doctor on my conditions rather than vice versa. It's ableist and cruel to force someone with pain and mobility issues to go through this.

She is very soft-spoken and appears to be nice, yet she doesn’t listen to the patient at all. I’ve been a patient for a few years, trying to see if things get better. She rushes you along and frequently looks at the clock to stay on her strict 5 min schedule. I went in for an annual appointment with a few questions that I expected answers to. Heck, this is the best time to get them answered. When I proceeded to ask questions, she mentioned that another person canceled, so it was OK that we went over. How unprofessional is that? She only wanted to go over her annual check-up script and send me about my way. She is not a good doctor to see if you are looking for someone who is concerned about your well-being and willing to even look at your problems. I guess I’m just used to sitting on the table and having a doctor use a stethoscope at every visit and at least pretending to care why you are there. Good luck because she might not find the answer on her laptop.

I was with Dr. Little for several years. She is nice and very soft spoken. However, she does not appear to review your file at all, (based on the questions asked,) and confuses details of your history, because she does not know her patient. She types on a computer the entire time (very little eye contact,) asks very “scripted” questions (many of which are things she should know, because they are in the file.) She does not give you the feeling she knows you at all, even after years’ as a patient. Appears forgetful and there is no follow up with issues. There is little to no explanation for things and lacks the connection that most people want with a primary care physician.

Former Patient – Dec 30, 2020

I called to make an appointment when I was sick and she wouldn't see me - because I was sick. When I asked to have a prescription called in she said no - because she hasn't seen me. Makes no sense. When I went for my wellness exam she ran all kinds of bloodwork but never called or sent a letter with the results. When I called and asked she sent me the raw numbers with no explanation. Needless to say I'm looking for a new primary care physician.

She is very kind and sees patients the same day if they are sick. If you arrive early, she sees you right away. I also like that she doesn't have a stranger in the room typing our conversation. If a stranger were in the room, I wouldn't tell a physician much at all. At least having no one else in the room provides a modicum of privacy, especially during physical examinations. Who wants a stranger examing them? I'm glad it's only Dr. Little. Otherwise, I would refuse a physical examination.

It all started with a pain on my right side. As I was looking for a good internist, a physician recommended Dr. Margaret Little. At the first visit she took the time to talk to me, know my medical history and made me feel extremely comfortable. She ordered a blood test and a CT scan immediately. The results showed a spot on the right lung; the spot was cancerous. That was five years ago; I am alive today due to her diligence. I can't thank her enough. FIVE BIG STARS

I just can't say enough about Dr. Margaret Little. She helped me get my life back. Not just my PCP, but also a good listener and friend. She helped me get my BP under control and down and helped manage my migraines. I've been trying to lose weight for some years and since seeing her and listening to her advice I'm down 38 pounds. I just can't say "Thank You" enough.

Looking for a doctor who .leaves the door open for your appointments, even when you disrobe? Want to have your doctor guess your diagnosis? Always wished for a physician to leave to room at the end of an appointment without informing you that she’ll never be back and the appointment has ended? You’re in luck! Call Dr. Little. This woman should not be in practice. This experience as very discouraging. Grateful I wasn’t sick or in need of care. Scary if this is today’s level of medical care.

I have been going to Dr M Little for a couple years now. Unlike most doctors who rush you in and out she actually takes the time to listen and ask about everything. She is so kind and patient. I also love her nurse Roberta (I think?). The office as a whole is awesome and I've never had to wait more than 5 mins in waiting room or for doctor. Highly recommend!

Dr. Little has been my primary care physician for over 20 years. During this time, I have found her to be very personable, compassionate and thorough. I appreciate that, as well as the fact that she always takes the time to listen to me. When you aren't feeling your best, I think all of these qualities are very important. I have recommended her to several of my friends over the years and would recommend her to anyone looking for a primary care physician.

Dr. Little takes the time to listen and answer your questions. This was very important in selecting a Primary Care Provider. I do not feel rushed during appointments. Unfortunately, I have felt rushed with other healthcare providers. She was recommended to me, and I have recommended her to family and friends who are now patients. We are very pleased with the medical care and attention provided.
