I would advise you not to go to this dr office if you have serious concerns, or need quick answers. I've gotten very little answers from my first visit 2 months ago. Concerning the lump near my armpit, they said since my ultrasound came back normal, and if it doesn't hurt, they'll just keep an eye one it. I had told them I wasn't comfortable with that given my family history of lymphoma, and wanted to see what else we could do. They said we could do a CT scan and they would refer me out. I never got a call for a CT scan. I called Premier Family Health for an update on 5/13/22, and they said the nurse practitioner never put in the referral for my CT scan. While I had them on the phone, I thought I would ask for an update on my food allergy test (because they had told me that those results take longer), they informed me that they actually didn't draw blood for that. I was under the impression that they did, since the nurse practitioner told me they were going to draw blood for that during my other labs. I also let them know the dermatologist they referred me to never called me as well. They advised me to call them. So I did, twice, and still haven't heard back.  Please save your time and money, and go somewhere else!
