Thank you so much for the consult and you didn’t make fun of me or denigrate me or my problems. The dr in the office needs some serious people skills. It took me a Month to recover from my visit with her, stirred up my PTSD totally! You were a balm to my person, thank you, thank you, thank you! You really helped me.

CHOOSE A DIFFERENT ENDOCRINOLOGIST AND NURSE PRACTITIONER!! DO NOT COME HERE!! Janet was in such a hurry when I came in for a scheduled appointment (it was a reschedule by THIS office), that she forgot to order an important test. One that could provide all the answers to my issue. I was sent a message through the portal saying to come back to the office to get the orders, so I did. I went to the lower level (because this office no longer has a lab) with +2 orders and was told by the technician, they didn't have the third (although the receptionist told me I had all the orders). I did get two labs drawn but had to come back upstairs to THIS office and they told me I would have to come back three days from now to get the third. By far, NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS PRACTICE, has messed something up. There are also constant reschedules. If an ENDOCRINOLOGIST wasn't so hard to get into, I would go somewhere else. DO NOT COME HERE!!

Have been coming here several years. Very satisfied with the treatment received.

01/06/2023

Janet James was wonderful as always. Unfortunately the women from quest stuck me 3 times leaving multiple bruises on my hand and arm. I asked her to use my left arm and a small needle, which she totally ignored. This is unacceptable!!!!!

12/21/2022

Janet James is fantastic! Her sole focus is to manage a patient’s diabetes. She does not beat around the bush. She will help you any way she is able. I’ve been seeing her for a few years and I think the world of her!

05/08/2021

yes but not her Dr. Not sure how you have one without the other. But Janet listens and shows concern and caring. I hesitate to say it hoping her dr partner doesn't take offense, but feel the dr is beyond that.
