It was my first visit so it would be weird if they already knew my medical history
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/2/2026
I also want to add that the place itself was nice and clean, very accommodating. Nurse Brinkley took her time to explain everything to me. So much so, I told my husband that we're switching primary care to Nurse Practitioner Brinkley. So both of us now will be going to Nurse Brinkley because she just shows so much compassion, understanding, and patience. And I truly appreciate that because that's very rare nowadays.

Laura is absolutely amazing. She's super kind, very educated, and actually listens to everything I say without rushing me. She explains things in a way that makes sense and makes me feel comfortable asking questions. Being in her care feels less like a typical doctor visit and more like talking to an older cousin who genuinely has your best interest at heart. I always leave feeling heard, supported, and confident about my care. Highly recommend her.

I have gotten good care from the nurse practitioners, but I am concerned that the practice does not have a physician, and hasn't for quite awhile.
