This practice has been going downhill for some time now. I used to see Chris Moore and he was…read morefantastic. However, they left me hanging high and dry recently. I had been sick with a respiratory issue for several days and decided to go to MedExpress. At MedExpress I tested postiive for COVID and was diagnosed with a lower respiratory infection as well. I was presecribed Phenergan, doxycycline, and an albuterol inhaler. When I asked MedExpress about Paxlovid (I take an immunosuppresent medication that puts me at higher risk, MedExpress explained that they refer people to their PCP for Paxlovid because you have to have recent liver and kidney function tests to be sure you're a candidate for the medication. I called this practice (which I have been going to for about 15 years) and asked about Paxlovid. The ladie I spoke with said they won't prescribe that for me without being seen in the office. So I clarified, "You want a COVID-positive patient to come to the office and spread the virus so you can prescribe me a medication to treat a condition I was diagnosed with?" and she said "Yes, and we don't have anything today, so you'll have to call back tomorrow." My wife called back the next morning, the lady was again rude and said they didn't have anything today either and refused to give my wife her name. Considering there are other reviews/complaints here about this same behavior from 4+ years ago, obviously this is an ongoing problem that someone is refusing to address. No wonder none of the providers want to stay here. Also, they have their pages on other social media channels (Such as Facebook) set up so you can't leave reviews. Why? Worried about what people might say? To summarize: - I tested positive for COVID - I was diagnosed with a lower respiratory infection - I am a high risk patient due to an immunosuppresent medication - They refused to prescribe the medication without me coming to the office even though I was just seen by another provider and was not willing to work me in.

Switching from my traditional PCP to this new type of health care provider was the best decision…read moreI've made in regards to my medical care and health/wellness support. Dr. Asistores gives a new, refreshing, patient centered model of care that is like nothing I've experienced with previous providers. He is available to his patients 24/7 and is easily reached at any time for any issue large or small. He is attentive, caring, and dedicated to providing an individualized and focused patient plan of care. Dr. A offers easily scheduled appointments via TeleMed or in office, and is consistently punctual, never having a patient wait to be assessed! His services span a wide spectrum from general medicine, psychological support, geriatric medicine, medication reviews, labs, and even home visits when indicated! I have enjoyed being a member of his practice since it opened and will continue to foster a long term patient/physician relationship with Fermata. If your health care provider wish list includes a physician that will keep you out of an urgent care or ER, an individualized plan of care, and a physician that listens, cares, follows through, and follows up--then Fermata DPC is what you are looking for. Make the change today and you will never look at personal health care the same again! Visit the Fermata DPC website for more information, to reach out to Dr A personally, or to sign up. Fermata DPC and Dr A are definitely the way to go when choosing a health care provider for yourself or your family! Heather Wilson
