Review for Dr. Kauffman
I absolutely love Dr wei, he is very friendly, and respect. He knows what he's talking about about and doing and trust me he has your best interest in mind. I hadn't ever had a primary care physician of this level. I highly recommend going to him. He will definitely treat you with respect and listen...

Review for Dr. Wei
Dr Yu is very thorough. I had a great outcome with surgery and he’s now helping me buy some time before having surgery on the other foot. He is honest and easy to converse with.

I love Dr. Prentice. She listens to me and reviews chart every visit. If something is wrong, she will get tests and referrals to fix the issues. I highly recommend her for older patients.
