WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
“This is my second visit to see Dr. Albert E. Takem and I am more than pleased with his professional service! Dr. Takem is knowledgeable, thorough and has a genuine concern for my well-being. He has a great “bed-side” manner and doesn’t hesitate to have you take the necessary test you need to take in order to diagnose you properly. I will be recommending Meridian Medical Group to my family and friends for their health needs.”

“Scheduling an appointment with a doctor without a referral, can be scary. I wasn’t sure what to expect for my first visit, but I am happy that I chose Dr. Ngonack Ngembus. She was amazing. The front desk staff person who checked me in was kind and welcoming. The young lady who took my vitals was very sweet and made me feel comfortable.
But then I saw Dr. Ngonack Ngembus… I am so happy that I chose her. She is thorough and asked all they questions about things that I was thinking of. In addition to her clear medical knowledge, her bedside manner is top tier.
To end my visit, I had to have blood drawn. This is usually difficult because I have such little veins. However, the phlebotomist was amazing. Her awesome personality helped to reduce my anxiety, not to mention the fact that she and my husband talked about his old neighborhood and school because their high schools were rivals. The entire experience was amazing.
I highly recommend Dr. Ngonack Ngembus and this staff to anyone looking for a primary care physician. They are amazing!!!”

“I have been a patient for almost 4 yrs and have always experienced a pleasant, professional and welcoming office staff. Dr. Joan is attentive, thorough and patient. She cares and takes time to listen. She always encourages questions without me feeling rushed. She takes time to fully explain everything with clarity. Dr. Joan is an added blessing to the practice!”
