Literally the worst primary care I've EVER had. DO NOT GO HERE. The front desk is rude and their doctor turn over rate is so high that I've had to do a physical/ re-admit every single time I've needed help. The most recent time I called to try and make an appointment they forgot they put me on hold and I waited 35 minutes. I hung up and called again and they answered immediately. Then the front desk put me on hold again but did it incorrectly so I could still hear everything.
She put me on hold so she could finish a personal conversation about her weekend. Then 10 min later when she finished she realized what she had done and just hung up on me. I didn't even bother calling back.

I have had, and currently work with, a lot of doctors. Dr. Ehsani is a wonderful physician in that he is extremely knowledgeable and caring at the same time. In my case, he has taken the time to read up on things that affect me that are not internal medicine issues. He feels the need to be educated on other than internal medicine issues that affect his patients. I can not stress how entirely comfortable I feel with him as my Primary Care Doctor.

Dr. Arndt is the finest physician I have seen. Caring. Intuitive. Loves her patients and they (we) love her. She always listened closely to my concerns and answers every question thoroughly and clearly as well as responding quickly and comprehensively.
