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.

Disappointing and Milk your insurance
Dr Breton is polite. I will not be going back to this practice. They milk insurance and overcharge. For 2 years in a row I was charge for an office visit above my annual well check because another health matter was discussed. I have never in my life had a doctors office that assessed additional charges for anything discussed in annual well check exams. My visit was over $700 for a 15 min visit that was coded extended visit, of that $100 was for a tetanus shot. Wellstar is focused on money not health. It is impossible to get an appointment if you are sick and they refer you to urgent care. I do not recommend Dr. Breton or this WellStar practice.

Disappointed – Aug 27, 2024

Horrible Experience
I had been going to Dr Breton for a couple of years for high blood pressure treatment. As of today, blood pressure is still high (little to no improvement) and when I asked about the symptoms of menopause, I was schooled on what the proper terminology was (peri-menopause vs menopause) for the 2nd time. I honestly DO NOT care what the proper terminology is. I care about the fact that the symptoms are negatively affecting my well being. Her response was to recommend a "plant based option you can order on the internet" or anti depressants. Ummmm, no. When I asked about HRT, I was told that that option is WAY down the list and she shut down and wanted to shuffle me off to a different doctor. Didn't even explain why that wouldn't be an option. Very little empathy or caring about my well-being. With the cost of health care in America, go to someone who will listen to you and discuss your options in depth. The front desk staff and the phlebotomist were fine.

Office respected all COVID-19 precautions. Dr Breton was very thorough without rushing. I had my blood drawn and immunizations done, the staff {Barbara and Jenny) were confident and caring. PS. I am a nurse so I definitely know when a physician office does things right.

Loyal patients of Dr. Breton for many years after being referred by a friend. Appointment in January for all-over body aches. After normal test results, asked for referral for MRI. Jessica Foster, NP recommended holding off and referred me to integrative health (Dr. Breton). Recommended acupuncture, psychiatric services, turmeric, and nutritionist. Followed for all. Added yoga via and joined Wellstar Health365. Acupuncture exceeded $1,950 no guarantees. Switched to Eastern, plant-based diet and felt some relief. Exercise 60 minutes/day at least three days/week. Spent a week with sibling in Pennsylvania. While there, visited physician and had tests.... Thank you to the Fibromyalgia Naturopaths of the PA area. My concerns were complex and needed attention of specific experts. Dr. Breton has reputation built on integrity, values, morals, and respect for her field and her patients. I believe she would be an excellent physician for general physiological concerns.

I have been seen by Dr. Breton for 12 years and have received excellent care. She treated me for diabetes and many medical issues. I often see nurse practitioner, Jessica Foster, and find her knowledgeable and compassionate. I have some complicated medical problems and she always finds something to help me. I leave feeling hopeful and know I have received the best care. I am grateful for Dr. Breton, Jessica Foster, NP and the wonderful staff that work at the practice.

My experience with this doctor has been very disappointing. My blood pressure was high for 2 years and when I told her that I was alarmed with the vitals she said not too worry, it's normal . She refused to give me medication and said that I should just change diet. She misdiagnosed some other symptoms and that made my condition worse. I am furious that I trusted her for a few years and never looked for a second opinion. So please don't lose your time and money with her, you will regret it.

staff is horrible - person that takes blood horrible - if you ever have an issue they blame patient - meds make you itch? it's winter - no doc I've been around for over 40 winters and never before - I stopped taking otc med they advised me to take & all of sudden no more itching. I have blood drawn every 6 months and they cant ever stick they dig around looking for vein I have to then go to hospital who manage to get it on the 1st try every time but charge extra $75 - AVOID.

Because Dr. Breton truly listens and cares, she saved my life. She was willing to keep trying to help me when other doctors had given up. She's very knowledgeable and efficient yet warm and friendly as well. I've been seeing her for several years and even though I moved 1.5 hours away, I still make the drive.

Absolutely no regard for listening to her patients. It's her way or the highway. Specialists I have seen have questioned some of her decision making as well. Will never use this provider again.

Both my husband and I are being treated by Dr. Breton and really like her. She has always seemed genuinely interested in meeting our needs and is good to keep us both and the right path in terms of what we need to be doing as patients to treat our conditions. I don't like the MyChart so much as a tool for requesting the medication refills I think calling in is more effective especially in one's prescription has completely ran out. Overall though we are very happy with her and would recomend her
