Dr Sommer Physician assistant was the best PA I have ever encountered. She was so knowledgable and easy to talk to. Dr Sommers was equally impressive
July 27, 2026
Dr. Somers was very nice and educated on what we discussed. The staff was very pleasant to deal with. My only complaint is not understanding how my appointment at 1230 equated to an extra hour in the waiting room, then another hour in the doctors room, finally seeing him, around 230pm. Other than that, no complaints.

I'm still in a state of confusion with my cardiac readings. A cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon within the same Endeavor group have extreme differences of my current heart measurements.

Intake by nurse Jean was very helpful. She was highly informed and was very good at educating on the details of Mitral Valve disease. Dr Somers was thorough and brought new information about my symptoms that I didn't know. He answered all of my questions. He spent a lot of time on the consult. I never felt rushed.
