Patient Reviews
Feb 19, 2017
For many years Dr. Newcomb has been my primary physician and there is none better, hands down. I would recommend him to anyone ( because he is so good, it takes a while to get an appointment). However, if you do have an emergency you can see his very professional PA's or he will respond very quickly to any of your messages. I feel so lucky to have Dr. Newcomb as my doctor.
