The girl who drew my blood for the labs was a Med Tech and, for the first time in my life, I didn't feel it at all when she drew blood. I was impressed! I don't recall her name but she needs a raise.

Dr. Golden is the best! I don't like referring him as my PCP. He worked hard to become a doctor and should be respected with his title of Dr.

The Dr is the main reason I go there , his nurse seem very nice and knowledgeable the crowd At reception is a bit More interested in small talk among themselves on non-healthcare topics than completing their check-in. But that is hospital administration problem not Dr. or mine

At the First Care Clinic on Matthews the bathroom in the lab area desperately needs handicap rails in the bathroom!! The toilet is not handicap height and without rails it was extremely difficult to get off of. I was embarrassed because I honestly thought I was going to have to open the door and call out for help to get up. This needs immediate attention please.

Dr. Golden and Jessica have been very good to work with and very concerned. They carefully explained things to us and called with results. Waiting for test results is scary.

I would improve the referrals process; PCM referrals aren't always received by the health insurance provider. Resulting in unnecessary out of pocket costs for the patient.

I think Jennifer, excuse me, Jessica and Dr. Golden are a great team. And I really do feel as though they feel really concerned and they care about my health. And they not only treat me with utmost respect and everything, but they treat me like family and they showed that they genuinely care about my health. I really do appreciate them. If they ever leave me or whatever, I don't know what other office would take their place, but I really do appreciate everything that they do. Thank you, Dr. Golden and Jessica.

My appointment was great but I don't care even a little about my lab results. I was told I'm type 2 and the only thing to do is start popping pills. No conversation about how to reverse type 2. I don't plan to remain a diabetic.
