Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

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

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Lack of care
I have been a patient of Dr Prins for 35-40 years. In January I had a medical issue and I called to make an appointment. His nurse only was concerned with was if I had a Covid test recently, get tested and call back. I ended up in the er with a potential fatal diagnosis. Obviously I’m fine now but I have been leaving messages for Dr. Prins to call me back for 10 days. He has not called me back.

Exceptional Doctor
Dr Prins is a kind, caring, intelligent doctor. He takes the appropriate time to meet with me. He answers all of my questions and provides appropriate follow-up. He also calls to provide test results and to provide additional information as needed. I trust his opinion and I'm thankful that he is my doctor.

Staff attitude
Lately Dr pins has been a little too friendly per his greeting. The last visit left me uneasy. I called his office to talk about some medication and the nurse refused to listen to me. I’ve been going to him for quite a number of years and it’s unfortunate that a nurse being so rude has made me decide to switch doctors

Poor Billing = New Doctor
Dr. Prins is a good doctor but his billing department is incompetent and the mistakes they make end up being unfairly billed to the patient.

Saw him many years ago and only once. First, he said I had leukemia (he was wrong) and then he accused me of biting my fingernails (wrong again). Then, he started spouting bible verses in the office. He totally creeped me out. I never went back.

Horrible medical practice. Withheld extremely important medical information from me, especially in regards to tests results. Told me I didn't have Lyme disease despite having a positive test result and then reporting that result to the CDC. Also, told me I had a regular heart beat when I actually have sinus tachycardia and POTS. Additionally, completely ignored my positive test result for Mycoplasma pneumoniae. When I had my my records transferred to a new primary care physician I found out.

He is such a nice guy. Very competent. Explains everything to you in non-medical terms. I'm guessing because of all of that, you have to schedule him a few days in advance.

Dr. Prins has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very caring and attentive to your concerns regarding your health. He takes his time to assess and therefore your never feel rushed through your appointment. His staff is knowledgeable and very well capable of handling the day to day tasks. It's always a great experience to deal with his office.
