Difficult for me to say if I would recommend her after just one short visit. She’s new and it was the first time seeing her. She was nice enough, listened to a concern i had, followed up after my lab results came back so the visit was fine. Still too early to make a recommendation or even an accurate assessment until i’ve seen her a few more times.
Liz always listens, is understanding, and helpful! I feel so comfortable with her and respect her recommendations for my routine healthcare and when I have an illness.
Had to see another doctor as my primary doctor was not there for a week. Seeing another doctor was kind of scary, but I saw Dr, Liz. I was very impressed with her knowledge, expertise and wonderful personality.
I absolutely love Mindy Smith she is a wonderful care provider and wonderful person in general!!! She definitely shows care and concern about your well being!!!
She was attentive, knowledgeable and showed concern.This was my first encounter with Jessica D?Ancona NP and I was impressed by her thoroughness. I will recommend Jessica to my friends who may be looking for a practice.
Dr. VJ Koli has been my doctor for 30 years. I have recommended him and Lexington Medical Center to everyone that I meet. And we talk about healthcare. Dr Koli has taken care of my father, my father-in-law and three close friends. His bedside manner is outstanding and he is wonderful physician.
Mindy was very attentive, she asked the right questions, followed up on my issues (even though she seeing me for the first time). Just a very good appointment.

Mindy & her team really make you feel like Family. Very detailed, listen & give the best medical care. Mindy is very patient & don?t try to rush through your concerns. Highly recommended them,
Liz McMicken NP is a HUGE asset to LMC. She has a wonderful personality, is genuinely concerned about her patients and responds promptly to questions/requests via My Chart. My [...] Mom and a sister feel the same way. I have referred lots of patients to her.
Dr Koli is great. He always very professional but friendly. He always listens and interested in what I have to say. He’s extremely helpful and informative.
Elizabeth McMicken is a very thoughtful, thorough care provider. She was recommended to me by someone when I visited a Doctor?s Care office when I mentioned I was looking for a primary care giver and I?m glad I called to see if she was taking patients and consider myself fortunate that she was. I hope MCIM knows how fortunate they are to have her on the team.
Mindy Smith is a knowledgeable, compassionate and personable Nurse Practitioner. Listens to concerns and never feel rushed or that we are just a number.
Dr. Lazaro is always prepared; he looks and listens; and he suggests treatment alternatives and additional tests accordingly. He listens, he is thorough and he cares!
I was first a little nervous about seeing a new doctor but very quickly he inderduce his self and I did the same his appearance was very professional and I got relaxed and comfortable in no time at all I really feel that I am in very good and professional hands we were abale to talk and communicate with each other in a way that made me feel very secure helping me take good care of my health I will be a long term patient.Thank you for you spending time with me and getting to know me.
I have complicated medical issues where my provider has to balance treatment and care with [...]. specialists.my provider always takes the time to lookup my lab results, tests results,meds,etc from the other providers to help make wise decisions on my behalf.
It was our first time seeing Dr. Mullen. We LOVED Dr. Mullen and my husband and I are very glad we were assigned to her. We hope she continues to practice with Mid-Carolina Internal Medicine for a very, very long time.
Excellent new patient experience. I was concerned about changing providers since I had been with my previous PCP for a lang time. She asked all the right questions, we covered everything, it wasn’t rushed and I came away confident that I will get the care and advice I need going forward. It was actually an enjoyable experience.
My appointment was at 11:30 I got called at 12:30 - not the worst part - Dr Brown just comes in sits at his computer and that's it. I don't ask anything because when I do he acts disturbed and talks so fast and low I can't understand him. I am going to find another doctor because I don't feel that I am getting the care I deserve.
I was blown away by the professional confidence and targeted questions that dialed in on my key symptoms and moved me to a care plan and follow up perimeters. This was my first experience with a nurse practitioner and a female health provider. I was self conscious of discussing male related issues, as I image girls must feel with a male doctor, but the manner at which she walked through the explanation calmed my nervousness, and put me at ease. Great Job!
She was very attentive with excellent communication skills. Also great interaction and understanding .
my wife has chronic health issues and l am encouraging her to become new patient
I met Dr Puri for the first time this week and like her very much! The only issue I have is that I wear hearing aids and I had a bit of trouble understanding her with her mask on…maybe I
could ask that she not wear it when she sees me?
I recently moved to Columbia and started seeing Dr. Puri as my PCM. She is wonderful because she takes the time to hear my concerns and talk through avenues of treatment. She is a great listener. I look forward to continuing my care with her.
We Love Dr. Puri, she takes time ,explains everything. My niece brings me, I'm 85 & we just want to make sure we do what she explains to us. She takes time, very caring. Blessed to have her.
