Does not feel like doctor cares about patients at all. Very disappointing.

I have been a patient of Dr. Larkin for over 10 years and I can say without any reservation he is an incredible primary care doctor who listens very carefully, proceeds with a diagnosis and on to treatment, and appropriate caring follow up. I can't imagine health issues without him. Kudos to a real professional. Thank you Dr. Joe!!!

Office staff (Maria & Sheila) are very rude, unprofessional & unwelcoming to new patients.

I have been a patient of Dr Larkin's for over 20 years. He is an outstanding Doctor. However, on my last attempt to set an appointment, I was on hold for 28 minutes and the next appointment available was 60 days out. Be warned.

I have been a patient of Dr. Larkin for 20 years now and I can only have praises for him. He is considerate, knowledgeable and caring. He is also very thorough in his examinations.

My family has been with Dr. Larkin for many years and my husband I have been his patients for over 15 years. Dr. Larkin takes the time and listens. He recommends lab work and other Doctor referrals when necessary and follows up with the patient on lab work results. I know Dr. Larkin puts many long hours in the day because he called me at my home at 7:30pm with lab results. My parents have been hospitalized and I myself had a hospital stay for 8 days. Dr. Larkin took the time to visit each of us every day and was very involved in our medical condition and treatment. He is a great Doctor!

I am 69 and have never had a better family doctor. He listens, takes time with you and always follows up. His diagnostic skills are wonderful.
