Dr. Lizarraga and his staff are really good. You know how sometimes you go to a doctor's office and you feel like you're in a third-world clinic? Nobody smiles, nobody seems pleasant? Well, this is a clinic, but you feel like you're in a regular dr.'s office. Plus, Dr. Lizarraga doesn't just try to patch you up when you're sick. He makes a plan for your care: how often you need to check this or have this test. You feel like you're under a doctor's care, not just that you have a doctor you can go to when you're in trouble. I have to leave this office because my insurance changed through my work, and I'm very unhappy to be leaving. Dr. L. knows me, knows my elderly parents (who are also under his care). When I come in to see him, he asks me about them. I haven't had a doctor who knew me in quite a while.
