Why Patients Choose Community First

Google Review for Primary Care5 stars review

“I’ve been coming here for close to 15 years now. The staff is amazing. There’s never really much of a wait. They make an appointment for you, almost always on time. Extremely friendly, easy to make appointments, get in to be seen soon.

I see Kari Beth-Hinderliter, and I can honestly tell you she’s the best doctor I’ve ever had. Goes above and beyond. Besides getting you in quickly, getting your issues resolved, she’s patient and will take the time to listen to you, and she’ll hear what you have to say.

If you’re looking for a new PHP, I cannot possibly recommend this place so much!

And I’m well aware over the years the fact that they have a great Spanish-speaking staff, and so if English isn’t your first language, they can easily help you as well.

I hope this helps you to make a decision! And please forgive any typos, I’m using voice dictation.”

“My name is Adam, and I just started coming to this place (the doctor and the dentist office) a few weeks ago, and my first couple visits have really went well.

First thing I noticed is they take time to get to know you on a personal level. You feel welcomed when you sign in. I really feel like the Dr., dentist, hygienist and staff actually care about you here. They take the time to follow up with you and make sure you’re doing good after your visit in between your next appointments.

I have PTSD from dealing with bad doctors and dentists throughout my life, and this place totally reassured me that you can put your guard down a bit and let the professionals step in knowing you’re in good hands.

I’ve been referring everyone I know to this place. Thank you guys for actually caring about me.”

So far, this has been my best dental experience in 50 yrs. My ​tech and Rachel were both amazing at listening and understanding my dental traumas.​
