Dr. Churchill has been my wife's primary care doctor for more than 5 years, and is much better than any of her previous doctors. I know because my wife is a stroke survivor and I do most of the communication. Emily is very knowledgeable and a good communicator. It helps to do your own research and bring her specific questions. I have found her advice to be excellent.

If I were able to actually see this doctor, who is supposed to be my primary care physician, I could maybe give a more accurate review. But I have not been able to see her for over 2 years. Every time I call, she is not available, so I end up going to someone else.

I am sorry to say that I am not real fond of Dr. Churchill. I don't believe that she has a any sort of grasp on woman's health at all. While she is nice enough, I believe she is still very inexperienced and has not had enough training to handle mature patients. After describing a specif ache in the back of my knees that I have had for several months her only suggestion was to "stretch" more! Turns out I have a potassium deficiency !! Really ?? How hard is it to order blood test ?? Not impressed with her level of concern.

I've been a patient of Dr. Churchill for years now and I couldn't be happier. I am in my 20s so I am already very healthy but when I do get a sick I can usually see Dr. Churchill the same day I call. Other doctors seem to not really take the extra time to make sure everything else is ok, however, Dr. Churchill checks these bases. I would completely recommend Dr. Churchill as your primary physician you will receive the most current medical knowledge mixed with actual care.
