Prime Family and Walk-In Clinic Reviews
Dr.Kaur and her staff ,truly care for their patients and their well being. She listens carefully and really concentrates on the situation.She is very knowledgeable. Dr.Kaur makes a plan to help you, which may have multiple steps, to see which works best for you. She does not hesitate to ask your opinion, including her patients in the process. She knows when to include specialist for you if needed. Dr. Kaur goes the extra steps to get things done to help you. I am very happy seeing her because I trust her diagnosis.
I have been a patient of Navpreet Kaur, DNP, for 6 or7 years. I have nothing but good things to say about her skills and knowledge. She is always prompt to respond any concern that I have. Their office on the third floor is so much better than the one she was in 8 years ago. I can recommend her.
Dr. Kaur is a dedicated medical professional and has taken care of my wife and me for years, with compassion and expertise.
Wonderful experience! DNP Navpreet Kaur and her team are friendly, honest, and genuinely care for their patients. As someone paying out of pocket, I felt well taken care of and valued. Highly recommend!"
She’s the best. I went to clinic as walk in and took me less than 20 mins. Very professional and caring provider.
