Islands Family Medical Center

I love the Doctors/NP’s that work here. They have been wonderful and very friendly. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about all of the front desk staff. Most of the time my presence walking through the front door is ignored and you are never quite sure if your presence is accounted for. One of the women there makes you feel like you are bothering her when trying to make an appointment or get any information on your account. Have tried to get a sick appointment for my child once and was told in an almost annoyed tone that she didn’t think they had time available but would call me back and I never got a returned call. I just wish the lobby and front staff was more friendly and inviting

I like Dr. Jauhar but I really love her NP, Samantha Parkinson! I expressed my desire and struggles to lose weight. Dr. Jauhar had me see Samantha. I'm so glad she did! She connected me with a Nutritionist and at 62yo I didn't realize how much I DIDN'T know about fueling my body. Each month when I see Samantha she has been helpful and encouraging. It's been a huge impact. For me, I haven't experienced any negative issues as expressed in previous posts. I do recommend this doctor and staff.

I feel like Laura is very callous and sometimes just plain rude. Maybe she’s over worked and looks at patients as just a job to do, forgetting that patients are human beings with real issues and feelings. I’m in the process of finding a new family physician. Im going through something horrific and was offered very little help and guidance by her. Im very disappointed.
