"Just need a doctor that I can trust and talk to and is concerned about me and not volume-running patients through the doors. Doctor Kussman is exactly what I was looking for. She listens, provides options, and generally cares for me as a patient."
— LocalityBiz user review for Colonies Family Medical Clinic"Honestly so disappointed in the service I received. I was told to come in to the ER due to a large amount of blood loss... The doctor who was in charge of taking care of me told me it wasn’t an emergency... The doctor was just overall rude and careless."
