I've been a patient of Dr Wickersham since approx 2016. I'm so grateful to have Dr. Wickersham, Mrs Alison and team taking care of all my medical needs. I see Ms. Alison more than Dr Wickersham, but I feel he is looking over ourShow more visits. If I have an medical concern or need refills, the patient portal is a great tool. The team is quick to answer and address my needs/concerns. I would definitely recommend this practice, if you want quality care. *The lab techs and infusion department has the best techs. I wish I could have all blood draws or IV started by the Pro's!! Keep up the great work!!

Alison is very empathetic and caring of patients. Never makes you feel rushed as if another pt having to see in 15 minutes. Always thoughtful and lets us vent and then answers questions. I at first was very hesitant to see anyoneShow more other than Dr Wickersham, but once I did see her we developed a very strong rapor and answers promptly in portal if I have any issues needing to be taken care of prior to next visit Mariah is a staff member that although may not be involved on current visit always rises above and beyond her scope of practice. Love all staff but used to always calling her.
