“While Alexa was very sweet and professional I am a bit taken back by the dirty lab coat. I understand that it was the end of the day however her lab coat appeared to have been over worn with tan/light brown ring around the collar. While the facility is antiquated again it was not clean. I would otherwise recommend if overall was cleaner”

“I sustained a knee injury playing tennis. I called Prima in the morning, and got an appointment with Joan Wang for that afternoon. I got in with no waiting, and Joan was great. She listened carefully, 'got' that I was generally strong and in good health for a 74 year old, and gave me excellent advice as to how to move forward with treatment and physical therapy. I have been a Prima member for seven years, and recommend it, and Joan, highly.”
