Best medical care for the working uninsured. I
have been a patient at Faith Family since 2009. I have never had a bad experience. I cant believe these complaints! I always get a call back when I need something. The trick is leaving your msg early, leave 1 message that is clear and succinct. The new facility is updated and beautiful and the front desk has been nothing but sweet and compassionate, always. Maybe try smiling and being friendly. I see Dr Pan - hes awesome!

I had such a good experience at Faith Family Medical Center today. Everyone I interacted with was kind and helpful, from the nurse to the front desk receptionist. I saw Hope, a PA student I believe, as well as Carolyn Williams and felt seen and heard by both which was healing in and of itself. Thank you so much for really listening and genuinely caring about my health. I highly recommend this center!
