This is the group you want to be with. The people leaving negative reviews about this practice…read moreclearly haven't experienced the kind of care you receive at a larger, impersonal office. Our children have been patients at two of the "top-rated" pediatricians as we've moved over the years--and this is the only practice where you're truly treated as a person, not just a number. If you're looking for speed and convenience, you can always go to an assembly-line pediatrician. But if you want a true care team--literally two doctors who will know your children by name, provide thoughtful and individualized treatment, and actually keep you informed--this is the place for you. When I first called, Anastasia let me know they're a smaller practice. So yes, I may wait on hold for a couple minutes while they're helping another patient--but I'll take that any day over the rushed, impersonal care we've experienced elsewhere. At the other offices, they'd order multiple bacterial infection tests based only on symptoms I described over the phone--without even seeing my children. That's not care--that's just billing insurance as quickly as possible. Sky Valley is the complete opposite. Here, they take the time to listen, assess thoughtfully, and treat your family like their own.

He is thorough and you get a feeling that he genuinely cares about his patients. My husband came here first and also raved about it which is a big deal because he too hates doctors offices.

From the owner: An internal medicine doctor, also called an internist, has extensive training in preventing,…read morediagnosing, and treating diseases. Dr. Posner went a step further after becoming an internist. He went through rigorous continuing education to earn his diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine certification, which is only awarded to internal medicine physicians who continue their education and training while in practice. Generally when you're under the care of an internist, you won't need to see any other types of doctors for routine care. Internal medicine physicians, like Dr. Posner, are highly trained at diagnosing even the most complex of health issues. During your visit, he will gather information about your health, and family medical history and discuss any symptoms you're having, or concerned about. It's typical to order some basic lab work, especially if you're just getting set up as a new patient. He might order additional tests if further clarification with any diagnosis is needed. Once he diagnoses medical issues, if any at all, he'll be the one treating you. Or if you have a chronic health condition, like diabetes or high cholesterol, he will teach you how to manage it and prescribe any medications you need. Your primary care physician is an essential partner in your efforts to stay healthy. Even if you never get sick, you still need to see your PCP once a year, just to have screenings done for chronic conditions that may not show any signs.

This was not the first occurrence of this type of service but it will be my last. Increasingly bad service each time you call.

When I complained loudly that he was not listening to me about this issue, he chastised me essentially for being hysterical. He was very rude and unprofessional. I'm sorry I'm upset but I'm in pain! In those 3 years, he could never remember what job I did and his staff couldn't even remember I was a woman. Best part is after this incident I was sent a letter from his practice telling me I was no longer welcome. As if I was going to go back?! Funny enough others had told me that he was very rude but I guess I had to get burned before moving to action and finding another doctor.

Nurse thanked me and said she would forward to the provider (Catherine Matkowski). On Monday at 8:30 am the office sets up a video call for 3pm. At 2pm, the provider sends a MyChart message that nobody has responded to the nursing staff and she doesn't have the information from me, but filled out the form to the best of her ability. Nobody shows up to the 3pm video visit. Is it possible that nobody in this office talks to each other? I called to follow up to see if the nurse gave the info to the provider. The male office staff continues to read my conversation verbatim. "Can we ask the nurse if she gave the information to the provider?" He proceeds to read my the messages from MyChart again. I thank him but let him know that I have access and ask if he can ask whether the nurse gave me the information to the provider he reads me the same message from MyChart...that he just read... which implies that the nurse did NOT give the information to the provider. He refuses to let me talk to anyone else and keeps interrupting and talking over me. While I have REALLY enjoyed Michelle Alvarado and Jacklyn Rector, I am hesitant to recommend this office as it seems nobody talks to each other and the male reception staff is argumentative, dismissive of women, and unable to answer simple questions.

Absolute medical negligence and unacceptable patient care.I visited this office on July 8, 2026,…read morefor a highly painful, swollen, and itchy growth on the back of my neck. I was examined by Abu Sheriff, who completely missed the issue, dismissed it as an "infected skin tag," and sent me home with a prescription.My symptoms grew significantly worse. Two days later, the agonizing pain forced me to go to Patient First for emergency care. After a proper, thorough examination, the doctor there found that it was not a skin tag at all--it was a large, live tick that had been embedded in my neck for weeks. They removed it immediately.Because Abu Sheriff failed to perform a basic, careful examination, I carried a live tick for days longer than necessary. I have now officially tested positive and been diagnosed with Lyme disease as a direct result of this delayed removal and severe oversight.I have full medical documentation, photographs, and records from Patient First proving this negligence. This office is a major patient safety hazard. If you value your health, avoid this facility and this provider.

Call finally came in today and it wasn't even the doctor! No options, no request for a second visit to discuss. Just straight to the medicine. No thanks. These things are scary for people and to just have disregard because they're too busy? There are plenty of better doctors and practices. If attention to detail from a medical professional is what you are looking for, go elsewhere.
