Dr. Dereck and her staff are extremely patient and kind and take time to explain things. You never feel like you're rushed. Great bedside manners. Love love, love.
Marisa is the best medical provider I've ever had! She is kind, compassionate, and takes time to listen. I never feel rushed and she is so genuine. I feel so lucky to have Marisa as my primary care team!
Love RNP Head!! She is a rare gem in the medical field. Caring and considerate; I feel like family. <3 In fact, all of my family in Columbia/Camden sees her.
NP Head is very understanding in her approach to health. She has helped me to pursue a wholistic lifestyle to improve my type 2 diabetes and it has changed my outlook in a positive way.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. Dr Patterson always take her time when she is in there and doesn’t make you feel rushed or uncomfortable. Great office!
I am very pleased with Dr Derrick and staff’s attention to my care and concern with my participation in decisions regarding my care.
They have always made my visits pleasant and rewarding.
I was seeing a physical therapist who recommended Dr. Derrick to me. She arranged the transition into care. I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I’ve received. Dr. Derrick is thorough and efficient. She listens and shows great care throughout the visit. I always have a good plan of care at the end of the visit.
Dr Desai is wonderful. Very compassionate and focused on the well being of your care. This was my first visit and I am beyond happy with this experience. I will highly recommend this provider to friends and family without any hesitation.
I always look forward to my visits with my doctor. She truly takes the time to understand me, and her attention to detail makes me feel cared for. Her warm and friendly approach makes all the difference, and I appreciate how personable and supportive she is during my visit.
Marisa Gentry, NP provided outstanding care. Solid recommendations offered through careful listening. Her dx and treatment advice were spot on. She is a pro!
Dr. Patterson is always very thorough explaining my lab results. She listens and answers my questions thoughtfully. She asks good follow up questions which shows genuine interest in my overall health care. As a patient I feel we have a great partnership and joint ownership of my health goals and wellbeing.

I am extremely pleased with the care Patricia M. Head has shown since becoming a patient of hers a few years ago. She takes her time in listening to what I am saying, thinking or feeling about my health issues. I never feel that she is trying to rush in or out of my appointment to get to the next patient. I genuinely feel that she cares for her patients and is vested in their health care and outcomes.
