Very thorough polite listen to what my son had to say and myself, and then give their feedback and their advice and what they recommended.
Everyone who spoke with me was friendly but also professional. I've never had a negative experience with this team.
Very pleasant and helpful
The entire staff and even scheduling was great! (Staff names) were so helpful. Dr Eddy and the provider who did the injection listened carefully, explained any concerns I had, knew (Patient) by name. Dr Eddy is a true Gem to ACP!
Great 1st time visit with Dr Eddy and his team. Everyone was kind and helpful. They explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. They made the procedure a good experience for my daughter. Thank you!
Entire staff was helpful and friendly. Eddy was extremely thorough knowledgeable and pleasant and spoke to my daughter with the respect that a (age)-year-old would like.
Everyone was so nice and helpful.
I just want to say I've been a long-term patient of Dr. Eddy's and he always listens with empathy, dispenses advice and explains my condition in a very understandable way. His staff there is very good as well. I want to give special props to (Staff name), I believe a nurse assistant and practitioner. It was delightful to talk to and very engaging. It's an excellent team you have there.
I really appreciated how well in depth he explained everything to us . From the front desk. To athletic trainer . Assistant. They were all professional and very kind . It makes me definitely want to choose to come here again when needed .
Dr. Eddy was thorough and professional.
