I love this place. Everyone who works here is competent and caring. Every other practice I've been to barely listened to me and I could tell they judged me greatly for who I am. At Jeffries Family Medicine I finally found a place that was open and educational. They spoke to me as a person and when I shared that I hadn't done a procedure before and was nervous, one of the nurses walked me through the whole thing and asked me how I was doing. The waiting room is modest and nice. The bookshelf is a great resource for any questions you may have or any curiosities that may drive you to flip through a chapter. There are toys and kids books to keep young people entertained. It is obvious that this practice isn't making bank- there are no flat screen plasma tvs showing the same recording of the ocean for 10 hours non stop- however, this makes me more comfortable. It is obvious that the money being spent is used on resources for practitioners and patients. Educational pamphlets, hands on dioramas and the like for the exam rooms are way more important than a plastic bubbling water fountain. All of the assistants are very skilled and fantastic, however if you want to meet with Dr. Jefferies in particular, make sure you either call between 8 and 9ish, or tell the assistant that you want to see her specifically. Honesty is key here as well. You have to be honest, straightforward and a great advocate for your health and they will give you all the honesty and help you ask for back. I highly recommend this place.

I had an uncomfortable experience here. I had just moved here and knew no one and had to pick a Primary Care Physician for my husband's health insurance when I picked Dr. Jeffries. I had my first appointment with them recently, and I wasn't very impressed. First of all, I didn't even see the doctor at all because it was an evening appointment and she wasn't in. The wait was long in a waiting room that wasn't very inviting, and nobody even came to say that they'll be right with me even though they saw me. Once I was seen, I was pretty much interviewed instead of filling out a medical questionnaire, which was uncomfortable. Overall, the appointment was pointless since I just had a physical through work for my employment, but I needed it for insurance reasons with this Dr. I think I might find another PCP.
