This was my first visit to Lawrenceville Family Practice and was very impressed. Dr. Van Riper was very professional and the staff worked very well together and very precise in patient care. When I had a question about the patient portal the receptionist was exceptionally helpful. This was a very positive experience.

We've been patients at Lawrenceville Family Practice for just about as long as they've been open. We used to live less than 5 minutes from the office, but even though we're now over 30 minutes away we make the trip. We appreciate all of the staff and their professionalism and compassion.

Todays visit was nothing but disappointment . As always my wait time was 45min. I came in just to have some additional labs done, wasnt advised when scheduling appointment that I will be seeing a provider, had no idea about that. On top of it wasnt even the doctor I see. When the provider came in, she didnt check me, she didnt take my vitals ,
Literally nothing! My kid missed his dental appointment because of this, had to even pay last minute cancellation fee. When I tried to explain my point of view to one of the nurses she argued with me, was very short tempered and even labeled

I have been going to LFP for many many years and have been satisfied, until recently. The communication has been awful! Most recently it seems like things have changed. It took me almost 3 months to get an answer about my hormonal medication. After I finally reached out to the office manager she told me that I needed a copy of my mammogram. If I had known thats all they need, I wouldve gotten him over a month ago. I made a trip to the facility that did my mammogram and sent it over to the office manager. I received a call the same evening from a work associate, not the manager, telling me

Went for a yearly appointment today after not having insurance for several years. My appointment was at 5:30 and I was not seen till 7:35. I waited TWO HOURS to be seen by Dr. Whiteneck who acted like he didn't even care. Zero bedside manner, glanced at my chart and did nothing. He barely said a word and just sat there and typed. When he finally asked why I was there I pulled out a list to go over and he immediately said oh we're not going to have time for all of that. EXCUSE ME?! I waited two hours to be told I need to see a specialist for basically everything. I asked to be tested for insulin
