Dr. Pfent is a great doctor and seems to really care about my health and has done a great job taking care of me for the last few years since Dr. Paul retired. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking medical care.

I love Dr Pfent he's terrific. I don't refer people to him any longer because he does not take new patients but in the past I have referred many.

Dr. Pfent took the time to consider just what my problem could be and then requested further work (lab & xray) to accurately determine a correct diagnosis and treatment. He practices the art of medicine extremely well.
