Elise Puffer is the best! I've seen her for years and she truly, truly cares about me! I hate that she moved and the NP I was going to see at her former office, In my opinion, wasn't to concerned about my overall health. I'm going to try my best to continue on with Elise Puffer, but, the distance might be difficult.

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.
