Switching pcps after this place and all their quack doctors and nurses. Under NO circumstances should ANYBODY working in a doctors office laugh at a patient because they chose to exercise their right as a free American not to get an experimental shot in their arm. Also, people should take you serious when you tell them something isn't right with your body. Instead, they shrug it off and call it anxiety when in fact, after getting a second opinion, there really is something going on with my pancreas. I wouldn't recommend these people to my worst enemy. The one lady doctor seems drunk half the time

Dr. Bovalino is an excellent primary care physician (PCP). I chose Dr. Bovalino based on multiple recommendations in an online womens group I belong to. And I have to say the recommendations were completely accurate. Ive been to the office for 2 annual physicals. Dr. Bovalino is not rushed. He listens. He answers questions. He orders appropriate tests and makes recommendations (eg vaccinations, lifestyle adjustments) to optimize health. I have been very pleased with our interactions. Additionally, the front office staff is wonderful. I actually complimented them after my first visit since

I've been a patient here for more than 30 years. I have seen all of the doctors and the nurse practitioner. Everyone is very thorough, and exams are never rushed. Despite what one reviewer indicates, there is not paper work at every visit. I haven't had to fill out a form in many, many years. Even when insurance has changed, I just give my new card to the front desk and they take care of everything.
There is sometimes, but certainly not always, a waiting time. As I say, exams are not rushed. Backlog can also be produced by patients arriving late for appointments. I'd rather wait than have a rushed

I've been here two times. The first time, I arrived early knowing I'd have to do paperwork. Showed up at 3:10 for my 3:30 Appt. I turned in my paperwork and waited until 4:15 to get my name called. I went back to be examined by the nurse which wasn't too bad and went quickly. I then waited 15 minutes for the doctor. The doctor's exam was quick and easy. Then I had to get a simple blood test. I ended up waiting in the exam room until 5:15 before I had to walk out. I spent two hours there. Then I go back to get the blood work that I couldn't wait for. I have a 3:00 appt so I get there ten minutes
