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.

She is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! Straightforward and honest with incredible bedside manner. I won't go to anyone else.

Dr. S. Breeden is awesome! I have been her patient for more than 10 years. Over the years, Dr. Breeden has provided excellent care. She is genuinely concerned about her patients. She takes her time with each examination and making sure Rx's & records are up to date. She and her staff provide a safe and professional environment during the COVID 19 and frequent visits. I recommend Dr. S. Breeden as your Primary Care Physician.

Actually I had been Dr. Shanza's patient for many years but I had seen DrBreeden a number of times when Dr, Shanza could not and I knew that I wanted her to be my doctor after Dr Shanza retired. She took me on as a patient and i was delighted . This visit was more like a visit to talk about things. She did do blood work and I will see her again in 6 months. I think she will find me to be very low maintenance after we get all my prescriptions straight.

Wonderful practice. There was an accident that delayed traffic and I was late to the appointment. Dr. Breeden was able to fit me in fairly quickly. Kind, great personality. (Would that be good bedside manner? If so - yes). Knew what she was talking about.

I recently saw Dr Breeden on an acute care visit. She’s super nice and easy to talk to! She was compassionate and caring.. if I needed a primary doctor, I would recommend her, but I love mine too. Everyone, all staff, have been the best group of people!

I paid 150 dollars out of pocket for a physical where the doctor came in for 5 minutes and filled out some paperwork, checked in my mouth, my eyes and felt my stomach and that was it. How is this a physical? What am I paying for? any tests that were run were because I asked for them. I still have not received a call to follow up on the test results which came up as abnormal. No questions about exercise, diet, smoking, alcohol, family history etc. Waste of my time and money. If you're looking for personalized care do not go here.

I have been a patient of Dr. Breeden for over 15 years. She is very professional, but yet personable with her patients. I never feel rush or feel like a number as a patient of hers. Because of my experience with her over the years, my daughter and husband both left their other doctors and became patients at Primary Health Group. Dr. Breeden makes me feel my questions and concerns matter. I would recommend her hands down to any other doctor.

Dr. Breeden has been my doctors for over 10 years. I love her! She has an easy bedside manner which is very important to me. It's vital to be completely honest with your Doctor so they can treat the medical issue appropriately. I can tell her anything and she doesn't judge. This has not always been my experience with doctors in the past. She treats the WHOLE person. I'm so glad to have found her! I highly recommend her!

I would highly recommend Dr.Breeden to anyone that needs a gread doctor. She has been a great family doctor for me and my daughter for years and I truly trust anything she has to say to me about any conditions I might have. She also does not waste anytime sending me to specialist if she thinks it is necessary. I trust her and all the staff that works under her.

Was miserable with sinus infection. I called Monday at 8am and got appt. with Dr. Breeden at 9am. She quickly diagnosed the problem and prescribed medicine. Within 24 hrs. I was feeling much better! My PCP recently retired from the same practice and now I have found the Dr. I want as my new PCP. I’m hoping to become her new patient in May!!
