In patients' words
"Dr. Speer is the best doctor I have ever been to in my 70 years. She asks about my family first. She listens to me and answers my concerns."
— WebMD (Patient review of Dr. Lydia Speer)"Making appointments is difficult at best. They ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment but they are constantly running 30-60 minutes behind."
— LocalityBiz (Patient review of UT Family Medicine)"The entire appointment seemed rushed and I was not comfortable that it was."
— LocalityBiz (Patient review of Galen North Internal Medicine)"The disgustingly, passive aggressive ladies upfront, who would rather talk about their personal lives with each other rather than booking you into your appointment Would not acknowledge anything that I was saying... Absolute scam of a place!"
