"Dr. Adame has an excellent bedside manner. He truly listens to me and my health complaints... Best doctor I've had by far!"

— Vitals review for Dr. Mark Adame

"His staff is incredibly rude, uncaring and unsupportive. I'm not sure how Dr. P manages to find the worst front office staff so consistently... Patient follow up, or even memory of who you are, does not exist in this practice."

— Vitals review for Dr. Joseph Petrini

"She was 30 minutes late for my appointment and did not acknowledge or apologize. The appointment was rushed. She didn’t show a lot of compassion or ask me much questions."
