I haven’t actually seen Dr. James yet, but I have seen Myla Davis, the PAC, and Lynn Madden, the RNP. This review is for the practice Patricia James, MD and Assoc. I’ve been really pleased with Lynn. She is very intelligent and thorough and provides great comprehensive care. The nurses are very kind and the reception staff are very helpful and professional. I’m very happy I have this practice as my primary care.

So far I’m not too impressed. I was looking for a Primary Care Physician. I’m having a serious(to me) issue with swelling and pain in my left foot & ankle. I keep having random shooting pain in that whole area. Up behind the knee, an once or Twice in the groin. I had a Venus Ultra Sound done on March, 25th ordered by Dr.. Erlendson who is my Pain Management Dr. I needed to get myself a Primary care Doctor quickly.(so I saw Dr. Patrica James’s RN, Lynn on The 31st of March. She seems to think it’s something to do with my High B/P. Lynn put me back on the Larsartan, ordered me to get a support knee high support stocking, and many more test. I asked if it could be a broken bone? Because of sharp pains I keep getting. So on 3−31−15. I had my food x-rayed. Again No One bothers to tell me any results. Went back today Friday, for a B/P check. It was lower. By Sat. Afternoon, I was a zombie ! I couldn’t stay awake. I felt drugged all day. I was sleeping 11 – 12 hours a day, plus I have Fibromyalgia, & Chronic Fatigue syndrome. It was just too much blood pressure medication. Of course it’s EASTER weekend, so the office is closed until Monday. I still would like to meet the Dr. That’s what this was all about. I want to know if I WOULDLIKEHER.? Her staff is alright, but it doesn’t do me any good if I don’t know the Dr. I’m going to try again tomarrow to see if I can come in and see the Dr. with an appointment. To meet her face to face and ask her a couple of questions. After the Blood Work Up, which All had been done 5 months ago ! Before major surgery,(2nd Shoulder replacement) and an X-Ray, left foot, that Crystal Didn’t have any results for, and being told by the LVN, I needed more Vitamin D, I TAKE4,000 units a day already, to eat more Vegetables & Fruits, less Sugar & Salt, and that I need to exercise more. Wish I could ! But Remember I came in with a swollen foot ! Also My Fibromyalgia puts LIMITS on what I can & can’t do. Just because my disability isn’t as visible as most, DOESNOTMEANITISNTTHERE !
