Testimonials from Patients
Dr. Kronhaus,
I reached out to you last November regarding your practice taking care of my mother (Phyllis V.) as we moved her into Spring Arbor’s Assisted Living Facility in Raleigh as her dementia progressed.
The staff assigned to Spring Arbor are dedicated & caring to my mother as well as the other residents & this is certainly appreciated. Dr. Narine has gone above & beyond what’s expected from him in his duties. He and the other staff, especially Brittany McKinney (not sure of correct spelling) take a keen interest in the residents. Both of your staff always respond to any questions I’ve had over the past several months & are dedicated to their profession.
Please forward my appreciation to your staff & we sincerely appreciate your firm’s dedication to the folks at Spring Arbor.
Regards,
David V.
Dear Dr. Taavoni,
You answered our email request for a visit while on the plane, flying home from Japan. You arrived late at night and came to us the next day, even after some confusion on our part. How fortunate we are to have a doctor who is so incredibly competent and responsible… and has such astounding stamina. What you did was an act of grace and a work of art.
Here’s a quick report on what happened when you visited. No words exist that fully express the gratitude in our hearts. So I’ll just send you a great big hug.

Doctors Making Housecalls have been wonderful! My mom was recently diagnosed with Dementia & we had to move her to assisted living at Brookdale in Wake Forest. They are now her primary care physicians & are taking such good care of her. I wish I had known about them sooner. They always let me know what is going on with her after every checkup. Everyone I've dealt with has been incredibly kind & caring. I recommend them highly!

Not just for old people! I destroyed my back and couldn’t get up to get to a doctor, so thank God for these guys and THANK YOU, Jennifer Scott, for taking such good care of me!!! They [Doctors Making Housecalls] even ordered an X-ray guy to come take X-rays while I continued lying in bed. I'm a healthy person and this back thing has been so weird, and I was terrified because I couldn’t get to a doctor. These guys saved the day!!!

"Dr. Taavoni, where do I begin to thank you for all the care you gave my mom. She enjoyed coming for her Dr. appointments and would all dressed up from head to toe...Thanks for all you did for both of my parents."
TERRI AND MATT M.

Monica called before she came, arrived right on time. She was so kind and gentle with my 87-year-old Mother who had not seen a physician in several years. She didn’t rush with the exam, answered all our questions and arranged for an X-ray to be made, in her home, that day. The X-ray technician was so kind and caring as well. It was a great and needed experience. We have scheduled a follow up for next month. I’m glad Mother will be seeing the same person. And glad to know of that continuity in care.
KATIE H.
