Services
Primary Care
Our primary care services provide comprehensive, coordinated healthcare for adults aged 17+. We focus on preventive care, chronic disease management, and acute illness treatment. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans, same-day appointments, and access to advanced diagnostic tools through our partnerships with leading laboratories.
Medicare Wellness Visits
Annual wellness visits for Medicare beneficiaries include comprehensive health assessments, preventive screenings, and personalized health planning. These visits emphasize early detection of potential health issues and maintenance of chronic conditions through evidence-based interventions tailored to individual patient needs.
Pre-Surgical Exams
Pre-surgical physical evaluations ensure patients meet surgical readiness criteria through comprehensive medical assessments. Our physicians review medical history, conduct physical exams, and order necessary diagnostics to optimize surgical outcomes and minimize risks for procedures requiring medical clearance.
Immunizations
We offer a full range of adult immunizations to prevent infectious diseases and maintain public health. Services include routine vaccinations, travel-specific immunizations, and seasonal flu shots administered by trained medical professionals following CDC guidelines for safety and efficacy.
EKG Testing
Electrocardiogram services provide rapid cardiac assessments for patients experiencing chest pain, palpitations, or other heart-related symptoms. This non-invasive test measures electrical activity in the heart to detect arrhythmias, ischemia, and other cardiovascular abnormalities during routine checkups or acute care visits.

I've been going here for about 5 years now for wellness and sick visits. I always have a great experience. I usually see Liz Lawhon, NP. She's great! I've also benefited from her recommendations when I needed to follow up with a specialist doctor and PT. I love the new facility too.

They say their office hours are from 8-4 on Saturday, but they're not. They have a full voicemail box also. Then I spoke to the on call dr and they said it should be open and to keep calling. Lots of disorganization and misleading.

In the past I have seen Dr. Corella who is very knowledgeable and helpful. More recently Liz has been treating me and she is great, she takes the time to explain things and cares about her patients. She is supportive in trying to find solutions to health issues and listens to health concerns carefully. Her nurse Crystal is also great, she shows a lot of empathy for patients, and also cares about their wellbeing.
Both Liz and Crystal are very responsive with requests for medical documents, providing them on the same day most times. This is a great practice and they are very dedicated to patient's health and treating each person like an individual which is rare in these times when some doctor's barely give you the time of day. Liz and Crystal answer all your questions and you leave feeling like your issues have been addressed.

Go to see Liz Lawhon, the Nurse Practioner. She is the best. When you have questions, she will thoroughly answer them and ensure that patients understand medications and test results. If you are looking for an excellent medical professional, go to see Liz.

Report
After waiting a month for test results my appointment was rescheduled 2 hours before my appointment time. I was told someone would call me to go over the results but never received a call. My rescheduled appointment was confirmed via text at 8 pm on Friday and at 9 am on Saturday (one hour before my appointment) I received a text canceling my appointment due to "inclement weather". The sun is shining and the roads are clear. Completely unacceptable and unprofessional.
