Extremely pleased with Dr. Primer as my primary physician. On this past Wednesday while talking with a female friend I recommended that she contact Dr. Primer's Office to schedule an appointment as she is looking for a new Internist.

My experience with Dr. Primer is always excellent because she is genuinely concerned with how I am doing. He actually caught my auto-immune disorder over 10 years ago and my Rheumatologist often states, even now, that he is an exemplary doctor to have found this diagnosis. I have recommended him to many people.

I think Dr. Primer is absolutely fantastic. Not only did he offer perfect counsel and a thorough exam, but he remembered salient details about past medical events without even having to ask me about them, and he took those so conscientiously into account as he explored my current, much less complicated health issue. He is a model physician in every way, as far as I am concerned.

Dr. Primer is the best doctor I've ever had. He's polite and kind. I feel like I'm visiting a friend every time I see him because of his friendliness and great sense of humor. But he's also concerned about any issues I may have and he takes them seriously. He treats me with dignity and respect, but has no problem making jokes to relax me.

Not only did Dr. Primer show a great deal of concern about my condition during the appointment, but made sure to communicate me after the appointment to make sure I was doing OK. He was, as always caring, efficient and capable.

Dr. Primer is great. Very good experience every time I go to visit him. He is compassionate and care about people. He is the doctor of my husband and friends too. They only say good things about him as well. I will continue visiting him next year.

I would recommend Dr. Primer to all of my vegan friends. it's hard to find a doctor that supports someone that chooses a plant based diet and doesn't try to force the status quo. I also appreciated not being strong armee into vaccinations which I have never gotten and never will.

Dr. Primer is an amazing physician. He always gives you all the time you need to ask questions and he is thoughtful and caring. He goes above and beyond on a regular basis in his care and concern for me. I always feel that he is on top of my health issues and I have no doubt that he is listening to me and giving me the best options that suit my preferences and condition. He remembers details that we have discussed in the past and asks good questions. I recommend him all the time without hesitation. Dr. Primer is an outstanding all-around caregiver and clearly became a doctor for all the right reasons.

Dr. Primer is excellent at remembering who I am, my medical issues and past issues - I always feel very well cared for and I believe he is truly invested in meI travel two hours each way to see him and would easily travel further

Dr. Primer was fantastic. As someone who has been afraid of going to the doctor due to a number of issues, I was set at ease when I was in the room with Dr. Primer. He wrote down all of the symptoms I told him (there were quite a few - it has been a while since I've seen a GP), and during the exam went through them one by one and reassured me after each one that he was not concerned by it. He followed that up with things like "if it continues hurting or gets worse, come in and see me, but I'm not concerned about that at all. Nothing out of the ordinary." He didn't seem rushed or judgmental, he seems like a doctor who is really dedicated to complete patient care - he asked me about specialists I'd mentioned making appointments with at the hospital and in some moments during the exam would tell me to make sure to mention 'x' symptom to a specific specialists. I was so so pleased with my experience - he really set my mind at ease.
