Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Hi, I've been a patient of Dr. Sefa for a while, he's a concerning Dr. He and His staff is very sufficient, I have never had any problems with Him or His staff I give them both 5 ??. I don't like going to the Dr's, but since I have to go I prefer to go to Physician's Care, Dr. Sefa. My Son was so sick, no one/Dr's knew what was wrong with him, Dr Sefa diagnosed him and saved my Son's life, I highly recommend Dr. Sefa!

Staff/FRONT DEST is RUDE! don’t let them fool you. Dr.Sefa assists me well with my health needs,you just have to make it pass that front dest, oh and be prepared to wait in the exam room over long. And if there’s and test procedures that the staff preform before you see the Dr ,be ready for them not knowing are explaining exactly what they are doing to you. I’m so over with some of the staff there but I do enjoy having a Dr I am comfortable with.

I've been a patient of Dr Sefa for a decade.
He & his staff are attentive and efficient through the entire appointment process, from scheduling, seeing Dr Sefa, to checkout.
Dr Sefa takes his time to discuss any health concerns before the physical exam.
I keep coming back year after year because he knows & cares about my health, both current and my health history.
I often recommend Dr Sefa to friends.

I am 54 years old and have never experienced such an incompetent, inadequate, unskilled doctor in my life!!!! One star is too high. This man should not be practicing medicine!!!! He spent the entire appointment with his stylus and tablet. He does not do a patient exam, does not interact with the patient, and does not address questions or concerns! His office staff is fast with scheduling appointments for him to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
