I drive from Louisville and it is a solid 30 minutes from home and office to this location. This practice was friendly, clean, organized, and ran efficiently. APRN was also great. She explained things well and reviewed results, submitted orders to Walgreens and reached out via myChart in a very reasonable timeframe.

Elise Puffer is the only great Norton health care provider that I have encountered in the past year. If not for her I would consider changing to another group/Norton has many bad practices but she is the reason I continue with Nortons.
