Dr. Atkinson provided a very thorough review of my overall health in a generous 40-minute first-time visit. This made up for my 1+hour wait in the reception area. Dr. A. seems genuinely interested in my many health "issues" as a 73-year-old patient. I actually learned a lot from my visit with him. I will definitely continue seeing him in the future.

I wish I found Dr Atkinson yeas ago!! He is so knowledgeable and able to explain things in a coherent understandable way. As a new patient he first went over my medical history thoroughly so as to better understand my current situation. He then addressed my immediate concerns and took care to listen to my thoughts and questions. I feel so confident going forward and that I can navigate the process for treating my symptoms and concerns. Throughout the appointment he acted in a caring and respectful manner, making me feel comfortable and at ease. His staff complements his practice so well.
