The staff at Amherst Family Practice are always very nice and the office is always clean. My PA Rachael Whittmore is awesome she takes the time to explain things and she never hesitates on answering any questions I might have. If I run out of my perception all I have to do is call and they send an order to my pharmacy with no hesitation. I would recommend Amherst Family Practice to anyone you will not regret it.

I've been going to Amherst Family Practice for many years, and my doctor is Patricia Houser. She is an outstanding physician, who listens to my concerns and determines best course of action. I'm grateful for AFP.

I found a bulge in my groin and wanted to see Dr. Bender ASAP. I sent a message via the portal. He got back to me in less than 24 hours with an appointment time already booked for me the next day. Awesome! He always makes us feel informed and that we have his full attention for as long as we need it. I'm 68 and he's the best doc I've ever experienced.

P.A. Rachael W at Amherst Family Practice is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly kind, patient, and has excellent bedside manner. This is my second time needing care from her, and she was extremely professional and considerate of my needs. I can't recommend her enough!

I have been a patient for over 10 years. They always take good care of me and my family. The app makes it fast and easy to see any test results and to review appointment instructions. The advice nurse is always responsive and helpful. The PAs, Emily and Nick, have great availability when I need to be seen quickly and Emily does a great job of helping me manage my overall wellness. I would recommend Amherst Family Practice to anyone.

Dr. Williams is the most kind and caring doctor I've ever had. All the nurses and lab techs are efficient, helpful and kind. The staff in pharmacy were great at helping me get my blood glucose levels down. I've been going to AFP for almost 10 years and have not had a bad experience.

The trusted doctor with whom I I have formed a great relationship over the past several years, will be retiring soon. He is referring his current patients to this new doctor in the practice. I was very nervous about switching doctors, but after just one meeting with Dr. Ripley, I already feel more at ease. He asks thorough questions, and takes the time to listen to your responses.

He seems to genuinely care for the patients. During my visit, I was treated as a whole person, rather than just one symptom being the focus. After my doctor retires, I will continue treatment at this practice with this new doctor. Additionally, the front staff has always treated me with respect and kindness. They do their best to juggle very booked schedules to make sure patients get in when needed.
