My experience today with Dr. Kevin Pimstone was so wonderful and professional in every way. After I sent a question to him using my portal he contacted me by phone and recommended steps to take which I have followed and he found an opening for me to see him the next day to follow up. Having been his patient for more than ten years this is how he always responds when I need help! Thank you so much.

My doctor, Dr. Pimstone, is the best doctor I’ve ever had in my 72 yrs.! He is kind, thorough, never misses anything about my health, and quarterbacks all my health concerns. When I was recovering at home with my second Covid bout, Dr. Pimstone called me right away, prescribed Paxlovid (which worked like a miracle) and called a couple more times, just to check on me. He actually really cares about his patients. He always makes me feel comfortable, even when we are talking about the tough stuff. I can’t really say enough about my Primary Care doctor, Dr. Kevin Pimstone.
