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.
