This level of coordination also results in healthier and happier patients. Types of services we provide include: Well-woman exams School and work physicals Vaccinations and travel medicine Acute primary care, such as sinus and bladder infections, sports injuries, etc. Chronic illness management, such as for diabetes, high blood pressure, emphysema, depression, and obesity Pre-operative consultations with EKG and lung function testing Joint injections Skin biopsies Geriatrics End of life care

Look around the room with 1 patient sitting in the waiting area. So tell me where this "backed up" with patients are?? Very poor service and poor communication!! I would never go back again and go straight to the ER if "Urgent Care" is needed. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! I HOPE THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS. If you're military or retired please go elsewhere and save some time. Now off to the BBB to put in my complaints.

Dr. Yan Geng needs to be evaluated in whether or not she has the bandwidth for the clients she treats. She's unable to discuss more than a singular issue in an appointment after showing up into the room a half hour later. The other reviews on her competency lines up 110% with our experience. In past phone calls with office manager Dale R, he stated that Pioneer Family Practice has taken on too many clients per doctor, and the quality of client care absolutely shows that. Dale R refused to give his full name after yelling in our faces when we took a photo of Dr. Yan Geng's name on the wall, a spelling which is uncommon. We should've known taking a picture of our doctor's name would've resulted in being kicked out and Dale R's face becoming inches from ours. Good luck to any present patients, our now retired doctor told us to leave before the transfer to Dr. Yan Geng. We wish we had listened, it would have saved huge headaches and some hope for the future of Pioneer Family Practice

We are both very appreciative of her expertise, her willingness to listen and her openness to suggestions or alternative options.

While she only works three days a week (her family is important to her!), it is easy to work around her schedule. When a visit is more urgent, all of the doctors at Pioneer Family Practice are wonderful doctors. We have no complaints whatsoever about Dr. Playstead and the clinic where she practices!

I waited another 10 minutes. No one came in. I left. During my wait, I could hear staff laughing and joking around on the other side of the door. Keeping a patient waiting for 40minutes is unacceptable, unless there was an emergency. There wasn't.
