"The ladies in the back that done the X-rays had great bedside manners and was gentle and quick. They have a good system routine that enables promptness. The overall experience was satisfying."
— LocalityBiz reviewer"I was diagnosed with Covid. Dr. Prince did not do the basics such has listening to my heart, lungs, checking my ears, throat etc. I also did not receive a copy of my test results to share with my work. I didn’t feel I got the care I needed at this visit."
— Birdeye reviewer"Dr. Walker is extremely knowledgeable about the problem I am facing. He takes the time to explain everything. None of my questions go unanswered and he takes his time to make sure I understand what he is saying. I have been blessed to have him as my PCP."
