Great doctor
I’m totally happy with this place.
I love this place oh, they are so kind and accommodating.
Always a great experience. My family has been going here for years.
Very friendly, timely and communicative. Love this place
Not accepting new patients as advertised on website as of 1/7/2021
I’ve been going here for years. I don’t know why this place has only 3 stars. It should have 5.
Do NOT recommend !!!
This dr cursed in front of babies !!!!
They have been my care provider for over 7 years. I love them.
I have had a great experience with Dr. Livingston and have had no issues with the staff, who have always been helpful to me.
Very rude front of office staff. I found the doctors too lax and not take my concerns seriously. Not the best experience and I will not be returning.
My brother-in law was completely ignored during an emergency even thought he was a patient for 20+ years.
Doctor Livingston is fantastic with my 2 year old daughter as well as myself. Great place, everyone is always friendly.
Community family Practice always goes over and above to get me in on same day sick appointments. Their staff is helpful and professional
Website says accepting new patients, the terribly unprofessional staff said they flat out aren’t accepting new patients. Their voicemail says something totally different. 🤷 …
This practice picks and chooses who they want as patients. Staff is rude and even hung up on me. Hopefully the doctors aren’t as rude as their office staff.
My family has been going here for 7 years. Haaksma has been the most caring and understanding Doctor to all of us.
We’ve always had a great experience with this practice. Started off her when my daughter was born and have had nothing but professional & thoughtful care for the last 10 years.
Excellent physicians. My family members have different providers at CFP, and each and every one is wonderful!
After having such great care at Enlarger family practice in Chattanooga Tn I thought I would try this place and it is a 1 and Chattanooga family practice is a 10 better more up to date so much more class the last time I was at community …
One of their medical assistants, Megan Lancaster, is bragging on social media that they are a “healthcare professional” who’s “still not gonna get the vaccine” This place obviously doesn’t care about your health or safety.
I have been going here for the past five years and they provide excellent service. The front office is responsive and polite and my doctor is excellent.
The facility is nasty and unclean and the place has nothing but a bunch of criminals working for them. I transferred my care due to this and I felt like there was a lack of medical knowledge. It’s terrifying knowing I was once a patient here. I’m surprised this office hasn’t been in serious trouble yet.
I have narcolepsy and overslept my first appointment. They told me to find a new doctor as she wont take new patients that miss their first appointment. It took me 2 weeks to get my medical records sent to their office. What a bunch of jerks
My physical and routine blood work came close to $600. It is a failure of Blue Cross insurance, sure, I’ll grant that; however, it is also a blind cash grab by LabCorp (and thus, Community Family Practice who use them) for routine work. I …
This has been my family’s medical home for many years. When presented with common or unique circumstances the staff here proves to be efficient, caring, patient, and beyond helpful. I’m so grateful for everyone at Community Family.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Young for a couple of years, and she is fantastic. She listens to her patients, is a great problem solver, and is always so very kind. I recommend folks to her all the time.
I’ve always gotten useful help for my problems here and found the doctors easy to talk to and friendly. The office is not fancy, but it’s clean and my clerical care has been good there, too.
My family has been with this practice for years. Though the doctors rotate through, I have seen the same one, except for same day sick appointments. Highly recommend this practice as your primary care physician.
Lechner has been our family doctor for years. We have no complaints. We’ve also seen the other doctors and have had good experiences all around
I called their office on different days to make an appointment, but I did not succeed in getting someone on the phone. I left a message with my information two times, but I didn’t hear back from them for a week. After one week they called …
I have been seeing Dr. Livingston for several years now. Reception staff are very friendly, respectful, and understanding. I have kept my primary care in Asheville despite moving because I love this place so much.
Just got off of the phone with a very nice receptionist – she was not the issue. I wanted to make a new patient appointment since I moved from south to north Asheville and I wanted to see if I could get help for ocular migraines. When …
The Staff and Dr. Cramer at Community Family Practice are without a doubt a God Send to me since moving to Asheville a little over a year ago. Each one of the staff there are caring and courteous, and almost truly like “Family!” I don’t …
I transferred my entire family to Community Family Practice (ages 16 to 80) in 2017 (this is no easy task). We all see Dr. Cramer and our nurse in Shannon. As a caregiver for my minor and my aging parent, I find that my healthcare team …
I had been a patient with Community Family Practice for more than 10 years and during that time had 3 primary care physicians all of whom left the practice. After the third physician departed CFP I was asked to select a “new” physician. …
I was informed by my insurance company that they are taking new patients so I called them to schedule a physical. They told me they would need to email the doctor with my medical history before an appointment could be set up. They wanted …
I brought my children here for 3 years while we lived in Asheville. I don’t think we ever waited less than an hour to be seen. Dr. Haaksma is friendly, but often seems rushed and is not as understanding of natural treatments as he likes you …
I went here to get an HPV vaccine. Called, made and appointment weeks in advance for the vaccine, showed up, waited, got in with the nurse, and then they tell me they don’t have the vaccine. …
Im literally sitting in the parking lot writing this review. I couldn’t wait to post about our experience! I brought my daughter here who is 9 months old from a pediatrician that we weren’t satisfied with. Doctor Cramer and the office staff …
I am very pleased with my experiences at Community Family beginning with Front Desk staff, waiting time, lab and especially my doctor, Dr Mary Elizabeth Young . She has a very genuine and warm way about her, truly concerned about my issues. It feels like such a relief to have her as my primary care physician.
Family Community Practice is an organized outfit. Dr. Lechner is a knowledge, caring doctor who has been very responsive. If need be, I have made same day appointments much to my amazement. I highly recommend this office.
I am on the search for a GP in Asheville. Of my two appointments here, one was when they were jack hammering during a renovation. I understand, renovations are necessary. What is not necessary is placing a patient with a temp of 102 and a …
My wife and I have both been seeing Dr. Rebecca Cramer for years and really like and respect her. Smart, down-to-earth and kind. Previous doctors at other Asheville clinics over the years had not impressed as much. We like the staff too. …
My middle and outer ear infection was mis-diagnosed twice with this office. They charged me for every follow up visit (I had to come 3x in one week) which is something I have never seen before. When they finally referred me to a specialist, …
Every experience, with every member of Community Family Practice, has been very positive for me and my spouse. Everyone is helpful, professional and down-to-earth. I love watching their patients in the waiting room, it looks like a cross …
Dr. Cramer and the staff at Community Family Practice provide professional care in a very friendly and welcoming manner. They take time in answering any questions and do an excellent job in putting the patient first. I highly recommend Dr. Cramer and Community Family Practice.
I have seen three doctors here and they were all fantastic. Friendly, informed, and I didn’t feel rushed at all. …
Called Community Family Practice to set-up an appointment as the their site said some of their doctors were excepting new patients. I asked for one, Dr. Cramer, filled out a release form and was told I would get a call later that day to …
Dr. Young is fantastic. After years of seeing various doctors, reporting my concerns, and getting shrugged off, Dr. young identified a possible diagnosis at my very first appointment that I had never heard of. Testing later confirmed the …
I am sickened by the discrimination that I have encountered from this practice. I called this practice and was informed that they are taking new patients, they do indeed take my fiancee’s insurance, but they would need to email the doctor …
This practice cherry picks their patients, unethically. After speaking with a monotone and unfriendly receptionist, providing my DOB, insurance info, and prescription info, I was told the following day that “no doctors can see me at this …
Dr. Lechner has been my primary care doc for several years now. She is a great listener, takes my concerns and health seriously, and I always feel confident I’m receiving great care. I also find the rest of the staff to be friendly and competent.
I just got off the phone with the woman who is supposed to be boarding new patients. I have chosen not to go to this practice because of the rude manner she spoke to me she was very sarcastic and cold and makes me uncomfortable to come to a …
I’ve had mixed experiences at this clinic and actually ended up having to go to the ER for a further spread of infection after my last visit. That being said, Dr. Cramer and her staff are overall great. Especially Shannon Dr. Cramer’s …
This is the most incompetent, deceiving medical practice I have ever experienced. The list of issues I have experienced in less then one year, unbelievable.
– On my first appointment I was billed for all sorts of hidden additional …
The other reviews on office staff are correct: most are abysmal. The majority are uneducated blue collar, xenophobic natives who resent the fact they must service anyone except their “own”. Their sullen personalities are not a pleasant …
The clinic, despite its name, does not feel very community or family oriented. It is not a welcoming place and is not a well run business.The office staff is rude, impatient and lacks compassion. I have had a billing problem which has not …
VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.
I have been trying to onboard as a new patient for about a month already.
I called three times and every time I was asked for my personal info and told me …
The doctors here have given up on healing. My dr said she is seeing 30+ patients per day. How can any doctor be effective seeing so many patients? Me and my symptoms were dismissed. I feel it’s important to add my blood was drawn by a tech …
I went to this facility 2-3 times and was each time frustrated at Dr. Cramer’s lack of empathy and bedside manner. I do not feel this physician cares about patients nor does she address concerns. Instead, brushes them off and insinuated I …
I have always felt like a family member when going here. But my doctor let his patients know that he is retiring. Since I have moved further away from this office I decided to maybe look for a place closer to where I live now. Well, this …
I contacted this practice to become a new patient 2 weeks ago and was such a negative experience. I had heard good things about the doctors but was not prepared to be questioned about all of my prescription and medical history from an …
This practice is one of the most caring, efficient and superb practices I have ever worked with. I have been a patient of theirs for 14 years, now, and woiuld never even consider leaving. They have a genuine concern for all of their …
DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE.
WAITING FOR HOURS TO SEE PRACTITIONERS.
We’ve been coming here for over a year for the whole family. …
I will not be returning to this office from this point forward. I gave this place the benefit of the doubt for months, but I realize it is time to move on. There is too many hidden charges and double billing going on. I have found myself …
After calling and finally catching up with the scheduler, who was super nice, I got an appointment 6 weeks out. Fine, I wasn’t dying or with Covid so I waited. I took some time from work and drove to my appointment and as usual, got there a …
I love this practice and everyone has always been professional, caring and competent …
I feel very annoyed when I have an 8am appointment for a vaccination and waited 45 minutes without acknowledgement. When I went to the office window to inquire there was still no acknowledgement. I need respect and to be acknowledged. …
I’ve been seen in this practice for years. It’s staffed by kind and qualified medical staff who listen well and diligently work to solve health issues. Calm in bad times and helpful in the good ones. Jim Haaksma especially, is dedicated to …
I highly recommend the physicians at Community Family Practice. I have been a patient there for nearly two decades and have found the medical staff as well as the front office staff to be empathetic, respectful, supportive, and proficient. My ten-year-old daughter is also a patient there.
Have seen several doctors in Asheville since moving here nearly 20 years ago. Dr. Bruce Ulrich has surpassed every physician I have seen. He took the time to thoroughly address all of my concerns from start to finish. He wanted to make sure …
DO NOT GO HERE
The negative reviews hold true. I was a new person who spoke to someone very rude and gave this place a shot anyway. I arrived at my appointment only to be told …
Dr. Young is my primary care physician. She has been thorough, as well as thoughtful and kind. I have never had a problem with her returning my calls and emails. The front staff, in my experience, has been helpful and polite.
I’ve been going to Community Family Practice for years now and have been happy with the care I’ve been provided by all staff members especially my primary care provider Dr. Lechner. They are super responsive whether you leave a message or …
Rude reception and Doctor missed liver issue and herniated disk. If you value your health do not visit these people. They are incompetent. …
I’ve been going to this location for about 3 years now and I just can’t take it any more. I have had great experiences with the medical staff, specifically Dr. Albritton. Super knowledgeable, not judgmental, very professional, and above all …
I have been a patient there for three years. Dr. Young is simply outstanding. I have seen Dr. Livingston once and she was also outstanding.
I’ve been with Dr. Lechner at CFP since 2012. Her bedside manner is amaing and I wish all doctors were as warm and friendly as her. She remebers little things about my personal life which shows she listens, and I appreciate she lets me …
Rarely do I write a negative review, but I have never had consistently terrible experiences with a doctors’ office before dealing with Community Family Practice. While our pediatrician was a pleasure 95% of the rest of their staff I have …
I have never been more disappointed with a medical practice. The first PCP didn’t listen to anything I said. She spent less than 5 minutes with me every time and it felt like she brushed everything off. …
I am so fed up with this practice. I’ve been using them on and off for years and I have never walked away feeling like I matter. First, it is SO hard to get anyone to answer a phone. Second, they just cancelled my 7:30am appointment when …
Terrible doctors office. Dr. Haaksma has a temper and swears at and around his patients, including children. Check the reviews, it’s happened more than once. The front desk lady, Angela, routinely hangs up on people, makes fun of them and …
I am very disappointed by the staff….Even, if doctors are good, the staff makes the difference. 5 days ago, I dropped a document for my insurance company that the doctor had to sign. The front desk was going to call me as soon as the …
My experience with the doctors and other staff here have been uniformly first-rate. I recommend them to anyone.
Dr. Young is a fantastic doctor. I have been coming to this office since we moved here 4 years ago. They always get me in when I am sick . The lab techs are fabulous and so are the nurses and medical assistants .
Dr. Lechner is a skilled, professional, and down to earth physician. She listens, she works with you, and she cares. I feel that she is helping me make the best, most informed decisions about my health and lifestyle far more than any other physician I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend her!
I’ve been very pleased and impressed by my PA Amber A. She is very responsive and available for any and all questions via phone . She has helped me in so many ways that I trust her more than any other Practice I’ve used in the past. You have a keeper, give her a raise!
Their call system is shameful. You can wait 30 minutes on hold and when you finally get dialed through, the phone call is rejected. This happened 3 times in a row for me. They are clearly understaffed or overwhelmed and need to address the …
I had a really great experience with this practice until I got Covid. I came down with Long Covid and was completely disregarded. They wouldn’t resubmit my appointments as Covid once the code came out. I paid hundreds of extra dollars than …
I very rarely need to go to the doctor and head my appointment scheduled for several months. The last time I had been in it was a horrible experience where I’ve waited more than an hour and the staff didn’t tell me the doctor wasn’t even in …
Community Family Practice has been my primary care provider since I moved back to the area in 2018. Every doctor I’ve seen in this practice has been kind, compassionate, made me feel heard, and provided reasonable and thoughtful advice. …
