I’m so glad I found this doctor’s office. I’ve been going there for 2 years now and I have never had a problem whatsoever. My OBGYN is Dr. Napier and I absolutely love her. She’s always there when I need her to be and makes me feel so comfortable. I most definitely recommend.

They were running behind getting us in with an appointment but of course that happens. Many times I come here instead of going to my normal PCP. I can always count on Primacare!
