PATIENT TESTIMONIAL:
This was my first visit with a UPH physician due to my recent insurance change. I have been seeing [another] provider for years and absolutely loved her and her staff, so I was feeling very uneasy about seeing a different doctor. My visit to establish care with Emily Fitzpatrick eased ALL worries about having a new provider! From the time I was warmly greeted at registration, to getting my initial vitals and some H&P from the medical assistant, seeing my provider, checking out and scheduling my follow up, I was treated as if I were the only patient all day. I felt cared for and heard. I'm so happy to be a UPH patient now.
