Patient Comments

She was so nice! She took so much time with me. It was my first appointment with her and I had so much we needed to talk about (I'm a chronic illness patient) and at no point did I feel rushed or unheard and she even had me schedule another appointment soon so she can have time to really look into my issues!

I was so grateful for the care, attitude and attention shown to me by this provider. HFM cares and that in of itself is a large part of the healing process.

I didn't feel that I left with any more information than I came in with. When I followed up on one issue, I was told "You should wait more and then go to the doctor about that." But I already had done both, and it wasn't clear how to escalate the problem or what the next step would be.
