Direct Care Membership Praise

“I have been a patient and held a membership at Smart Choice Medical Clinic for years. The staff and providers have always been caring, supportive, efficient, proficient and helpful. With a membership here, I get the kind of care and service that concierge physicians charge thousands of dollars to provide, often with a far better bedside manner from Ms. Johnson and Yesica. I have never had a complaint or an issue with Smart Choice Medical Clinic.”

– Ashley L.

“My husband has diabetes type 1 and 2. Needless to say insulin is expensive without insurance. Especially lab work. So glad we found this place. I know he will benefit from their membership. Everyone is very friendly and caring.”

– Amanda N.

Very well priced.”

Then, most importantly, NP Guerda and Assistant Yesica was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, and addressed all my concerns thoroughly and patiently.”
