Feb 11, 2025

Dr. Bivens has amazing bedside manner. My son was very nervous and did not know what to expect, and feeling as though he might not be able to play sports anymore. I will say that from our Medical Assistant (staff name), to the Echo tech who knew the perfect movie to put on, to Dr. Bivens herself who was kind and thorough, everyone made my son so comfortable and I am thankful.


Feb 10, 2025

Dr Bivens was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, calming and very knowledgeable. Everyone was very nice from checking in to checking out.


Feb 3, 2025

Very kind, very concerned about the situation. Gave lots of information about what to do. And everyone in the office was very nice.


Jan 29, 2025

I always felt comfortable and confident in Dr. Bivens, she always told me if any concerns or problems came up, just give the office a call and she would be glad to check up on things. Very personable and took time to make sure you understood and explain things to you.


Jan 10, 2025

The doctor took a lot of time to explain our sons conditions and options. She calmed our concerns with BP and HCM and refocused our attention on next steps with WPW. The staff was nice and took us in early. The place seemed organized. It was a more personal and patient experience rather than routine and bland.


Aug 30, 2024

From the staff greeting us at check in too the secretary's on the second floor and the EKG tech to the cardiologist they all were amazing ! The cardiologist answered every question we had and helped us feel very calm in a very out of our hands situation a blessing forsure my only complaint is I don't like that we had to wait a week to be seen


Aug 28, 2024

Dr. Bivens was lovely. She was patient with me while I explained my worries about a certain condition running in our family and then put my fears to rest while explaining factual information about the condition without making me feel stupid for asking questions. She did everything she could to be thorough and make sure we left feeling heard and with all our questions answered.


Aug 28, 2024

Great experience all the way around, everyone was very polite and informative.


Jul 26, 2024

Super sweet, caring, made me feel heard. Great overall.


Jul 18, 2024

Very nice and listened to me and child with patience and kindness. Also talked to my child not AT my child or like he wasn't in the room. which I think is very important to for us since he is (age) and I want him to be involved in making his health choices.
