I was blessed to find dr muse almost 10 years ago. I am a nurse, so I have pretty high expectations. He is by far the most concerned, caring doctor I have ever known or worked with. He is also extremely knowledgeable and keeps up on all the latest research. His staff is also Fantastic! .

Self important gods, in their own minds. $50 mandatory deposit required to make a new patient appointment, even if you have health insurance. Pompous. Petty. Stupid. They don't trust anyone. They don't trust you. They don't want new patients or any patients. Stay away.

My husband and I are 65, and we have 6 children. We saw many family physicians before finding Dr. Muse when we were about 39. He has been great for our family. Sometimes it takes time to get an appointment, but for us it has always been well worth it.

Dr Muse has been my doctor for 20 years. He is not part of my insurance group, so I'm not covered for him, but I pay out of pocket because I would not want to go to any other doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr Muse for over 15 years. I stay with him because he is very caring, very thorough, and clearly spends much of his time keeping up on the latest studies. I have on occasion waited a little longer, but I know that this is because I am not the only one with this opinion. Great physician, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Dr. Muse.

I have been seeing Dr. Muse for over 10 years. He has always been able to diagnose me correctly and get me the help I need. I have been dealing with an unusual auto immune disease. He figured it out almost immediately and referred me to a very good Rheumatologist. He always listens to me and has the correct answers and does not just give you a pill and send you home.

My mom first took me to Dr. Muse as a child, because she though he looked like Michael J. Fox. He has been my primary care physician for 35 years. Excellent physician; extremely knowledgable.
