"I have been traveling so was able to set up a telehealth visit with Virginia Rady, ANP-C. She was excellent - professional, informative, educational - but most of all collaborative. I am an RN so come with my own knowledge and background. I am newer to this practice, but have now seen 3 different practitioners (Dr. Ennis, Dr. Fullington and Virginia Rady) and am so impressed with them all. It’s important to me to ‘participate’ in my own healthcare and that is exactly what you get here. I would highly recommend this practice!"

"I have been Dr Fullington’s patient for 5-6 years. I have nothing but only good things to say about the doctor. He is very easy to talk to. He really takes his time to listen to his patients, without ever feeling rushed. I can go on and on about his excellent service. I’m very pleased that he is my doctor."
