I have been a patient with Dr. Austin, and the Austin Powers Medical Group since early 2001. Their treatment of patients is personal, professional, efficient and all around wonderful. From the moment you step in, you are greeted by a smiling courteous staff. Now granted, it’ll take them time to know you, but once they do — you will never feel that you’re in the average impersonal waiting room. Dr. Austin is a wonderful physician. She is up to date on all the latest treatments, and if you need a specialist — she will give you the right referral. Dr. Austin can be tough when needed(and dole out tough love as medicine) and yet one of the most caring doctors I had. I stumbled across Dr. Austin by sheer chance — I needed a physical exam for work, and the first couple of doctors on my insurance list were not taking in new patients. I also had a concern about my kidneys — and her specialization in nephrology seemed like a good match. Over the years, Dr. Austin helped me with such generic maladies as the common cold, flu, occasional laryngitis or sinus infection. She helped me maintain my weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. Dr. Austin gave referrals to a great dermatologist, hand specialist. In 2010, she helped me through a couple of very rough years when I was dealing with a particularly aggressive Burkitt’s Lymphoma(with good outcome). Over the years, Dr. Austin brought in various PAs, they were always as good as she is, and all have treated me with the same level of care I’ve come to expect out of the Austin Powers Medical group. These PAs have since transition to be physicians in their own practices. I should also note that over the years I’ve gone through multiple insurance carriers — Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna and back to Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and never had any billing issues or red-tape concerns. The clinic is well appointed with comfortable chairs, and the walls are covered with landscape oil paintings created by Dr. Austin’s mother. This gives the clinic a much more soothing personal environment. I think it is safe to say — I am a happy patient of Dr. Austin and the Austin Powers Medical Group.
