"Last week my appointment took place in their new office which was very nice, well organized, spacious, clean and had plenty of outside parking. The staff have always been very kind and helpful. It really makes a difference when the office staff operate with a good flow and professionalism. I've never had a complaint toward the lab techs, x-ray or EKG techs, nurses, NPs or PAs and have never been rushed through a visit. If you are considering a change to a different practice I highly recommend Summit Family Practice!"
