I can't think of anything at this time. It's always a positive and supportive experience. Dr. Gajahdar listens and speaks directly to my condition. She demonstrates compassion and knowledge in her interactions.

There is absolutely nothing you could do to make my interaction with this practice any better. Dr. G is a very caring and concerned professional and is definitely an asset to this practice. This is the only office where I do not wait and there is no rush to herd you out for the next patient.

No improvement is needed. Dr. Gajadhar is always compassionate, caring and she always takes time to listen. We love she is so thorough and that we get the time needed to address any concerns. We never have to wait or feel rushed. We truly respect the time she takes with our mom and family. If other physicians would follow her example, healthcare would be what it should be - care vs. profit. I'm so appreciative that Dr. G always takes care of us and is a GENIUNE doctor and caregiver.

Any two times that I go to the senior care, Palmetto Senior Care, I always treat it with respect, kindness. The staff are real nice to me. My doctor is a good doctor. The nurses are nice. Social workers are good. Places always clean. Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you so much for being able to have the doctors that we have there and hope we'll be able to keep them from now on. Thank you.

Sr Primary Care is a godsend. It is rare to find a practice that treats its patience with dignity and respect. Sr Primary Care goes above and beyond that I feel like they are professionals who love their jobs and care about their patients

Good afternoon. Any time I go to primary or senior care, I always walk in and the receptionist is very respectful and nice. I don't have a problem when I go up there. I do not have any bias against my race. I think they are a nice bunch of people, and I would like for them to keep doing what they are doing. They make people feel good when you come in there. Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Whenever I go to primary senior care, I never, never have any trouble or bias with anyone. My doctor is a very nice lady. The nurses treat me with respect and kindness. The front desk is always courteous. The place is always clean. And I'd be so glad to see the same people when I get there. This is a very, very good staff. Keep up the good work. Bye-bye.
