Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor Canada abruptly closed her office in 2017 with no explanation and getting records from this office is impossible.

I had to change insurance companies January 1st, 2017 via our wonderful "Affordable Care Act" insurance program and was put on a waiting list...."maybe June" I'll be able to get in for my primary care doctor...mind you, I just had skin cancer removed December 2016 and need to continue seeing a dermatologist....well, I called in mid March and asked what the status was and if there could be any prioritizing based on my recent removal of skin cancer...well, lets just say that wasnt happening -

Dr. Canada has been my Primary Physician for over 10 years. I have never had a doctor that is more caring and spends time listening to you. She was the first doctor that actual listened to me about issues that I was having and worked with me to solve them. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for a family physician.

Not knowledgeable about many medications and medicare rules but over-bearing and domineering, while also exhibiting extreme confusion and incorrect information on which she and her nurse practitioner seem to base their judgements, many of which are either very slow in coming (medically) or else incorrect, and also can be accusative. This practice tried to force a medication on me which was contraindicated by a DNA test, and blamed me for other issues without foundation. Off base!

warning prior to any services taken at this office please get an estimate of cost. This office will charge you an gross amount. I went to meet the doctor; first I only seen a nurse practitioner and who took our vitals and went over history. This all happen in 30 minutes and they charged my insurance $400.00 which was reduced to $278.03 which went to my deductible. My wife also went and that equated to $576.06 for 1 hour with a nurse. This office over charges; stay away.
