    I had my first visit with Dr. Hou and it was great. I am generally a bit nervous but the staff from the reception, to the cna to the doctor was great and really put me at ease. Dr. Hou listened, addressed my questions and seemed like a true advocate to my health.

    I am the brother and legal guardian of the patient who suffers from Lewy Body Dementia. Our visit with Dr. Kristy Hou was to establish a new PCP for him as he recently moved to NJ. The entire staff was very courteous and professional - treated my brother with respect. The facility is comfortable and clean. Dr Hou was absolutely fantastic. Check him thoroughly, discussed his history and current condition. Discussed and explained her plan of treatment - establishing a new Neurologist (in progress) to be the first step. She refilled his medications and we will revisit in 3 months - by which time she will have his medical records from Virginia and opinions of new neurologist.

Dr. Hou was exceptional, not only in her comprehensive approach and knowledge, but in her ability to set a comforting tone to the visit.

    Dr. [REDACTED] did an outstanding job of providing medical service to me. She's not my normal physician, but she was able to see me on short notice, and I was very pleased with the care. She was very, very knowledgeable, and gave me a lot of helpful information, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to see her.

    I was on hold for 22 minutes to get through to make an appointment. I do not have Internet and that was the last time. The other time I was on hold for 17 minutes. I think this is just a little bit ridiculous that if you need an appointment that you have to be on hold for almost a half hour. Something's got to be done regarding this. Thank you.

    Im 70 years old and was used to the old style "paper" office and stayed away from big practices for a time. Dr Hou and her staff have changed my mind. Dr Hou listens, considers what is going on with me, and actually cares about me. Her staff is happy and polite and always helpful. If they don't have the answer they get it. Sadly these things rarely happen these days. Im so glad I found this practice.
