my overall visit was fantastic with dr. eppel. he is very kind and attentive. the front desk gentleman was great also. my only negative i have is the medical assistant michelle was very intrusive in my care as far dr. eppel discussing a care plan for me. she kept interrupting and would keep quiet. i had a hard time understanding dr. eppel and had to keep asking him to repeat himself. i just felt like the visit was not about me more about her. other than that a great overall experience.

From the front desk, to the point you leave, you feel welcome and cared for. I'm glad I chose Eppel Family Medicine as my PCP.

Dr Eppel has been my PCP for about 3 years.I love the fact that he takes the time to understand my issues and provides great feedback that he understands what I am telling him. He is professional and very knowledgeable. The best military Doc I have ever had.
