“I would like to thank everyone for helping me with my medicine and health.”
“Everything was speedy—I am impressed. I am very pleased with the concern of the nurse practitioner and that she spent a lot of time with me asking questions.”
“Thank you and God bless all of the staff.”
“For the entire past year, my husband had daily blow-ups, screaming, cussing, throwing things, breaking things, hitting the wall, and terrifying the whole family. Stress from no money, below poverty levels, and no end in sight. He would come home from work, rant and rave, turn comatose in front of the computer, watch news, eat, and go to bed. I couldn’t take it anymore, and made him an appointment in November (2010). He was placed on a waiting list. I suggested an anti-depressant. Well, he was seen by your staff and prescribed an anti-depressant. Within days we had a miracle! Our financial circumstances are still dire, but my husband is laughing, having lengthy conversations, and thinking about solutions to problems. He is most definitely happy again. We are a team again—as well as a family. You definitely saved our 20-year marriage and probably his life from a heart attack or suicide. Thank you and God bless you.”
“I can’t say thank you enough. They have brought my husband and myself back to good health. They listened and cared. I thank God every day for this program.”
“All were very nice and polite. The Doctor took time to hear my problems and did show she cared. That makes me happy.”
“This place is God sent!”
“I always feel welcome and am always treated with courtesy.”
“Your staff here is wonderful! I always feel welcome, and the staff are always wanting to get to the root of the problem. They take time with you.”
“Doesn’t get any better than this.”
