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.

You’ll never find better and more qualified !
Dr. Messina is a “Natural born physician.” She can almost immediately identify your health issue and find a solution as her gift is inborn. I find her personality and patience to also be a quality. I cannot picture my life now without her. I travel several miles and she is well worth everything.

I changed from another PCP which I didn't feel was doing much. I had my first appointment with Dr. Messina and it was fantastic. As another reviewer had mentioned she gives you an overall assessment which also includes your emotional/mental state. She has a more holistic approach as opposed to defaulting to meds.

Dr. Messina, is one of the most caring physicians that I’ve come to know. She does not just treat the physical but she is very much concern with your mental/emotional state. My family is very fortunate to have found her. We have very upbuilding spiritual conversations at times and I find it may not stop the physical but it definitely helps mentally. She is kind and selfless. She is a friend that I know is there for me in times of distress. Thanks Dr. Messina

It's an honor that you chose our practice:)

Not exactly the most caring practice.... The staff is very rude. They don’t return phone calls in a timely fashion. When they do call back they rush you and try to over talk you. I needed some simple blood work done and I’ve been a patient of hers for years. I’ve been ignored for more than a week. I will be changing to a new PCP now.
