About
Welcome to Legacy Health's primary care clinics, the first step to better health. Our clinics are certified patient-centered medical homes. A medical home clinic means that you and your family are at the center of our care, surrounded by a team that consists of your primary care provider, nurse, medical assistant, social worker, counselor and clerical staff. This team is focused on your health needs.
Being in a patient-centered medical home means that your care team knows your health history, listens to your concerns, and coordinates care with other specialists and health providers. We care for you when you are sick, but, more importantly, we work with you to keep you well.

Dr Zinser is a terrific doctor. We appreciate the care he gives.
Mindy was interested in answering questions and explaining the answers well. The nurse was great also, very warm and helpful.
Sign up was good. Wait times were good. Time with the doctor was well spent. We could have used about ten more minutes.
Provider was very accommodating and sensitive to my medical needs. Gave me options regarding my medical health on how to go about with treatment
I switched to the Legacy Group for several reasons all of which were addressed and alleviated since switching my health care to Legacy. I like being able to see the same doctor when needed as well as their great bedside manner when approaching my medical needs.
I was at about 8 on the pain scale in my r. Glute. She prescribed an 4 day course of prednisone. We Also talked about my urinary incontinance. And Pfaff was quick to order a new medication, have a urine sample taken & sent a referral to urology.
I am so appreciative of how quickly Tara and her MA got me in and took care of my issue.
Dr zoomed in to problem and needed treatment..physician assistant and medical student trainee also helpful
The doctor is knowledgeable and helpful, very efficient and understanding.
Dr Budesa is an excellent provider. Listens well and explains herself very well. I'm always impressed the staff are able to fit me in when rather than advising I go into an urgent care.
Dr. Swiridoff has excellent bedside manner and takes whatever time is necessary to explain and discuss my medical history and concerns.
MA was excellent, I was there for ER follow up and Dr. Zinger answered all my questions about what the different doctors concluded. And options going forward. So helpful for me as I was not able to remember after medication reaction.
Excellent visit, enjoy everyone there
Really listened to me and was concerned about my health.
Experience is always good. Dr Zinser gives me the straight scoop which I appreciate even if it's not always what I want to hear.
Dr. Swiridoff has treated my family and I since I was a teenager. He is competent, caring, and takes our entire health into account. I believe that my life and health is better than it would be if I had not been in Dr Swiridoff's care.
Love Dr S.
Dr. Budesa is by far the best primary doc I've had.

The MA, doctor, and lab tech where fantastic.
Mindy and Tia are the best. They treat me with such respect and care. I have recommended them to a friend.
Dr Schultz amazes me when he identifies the exact spot on my muscle that hurts. He then shows me what to do and/or suggests physical therapy to get me better.

Dr, Budesa is consistently thorough in her exams and I always feel respected with my best interest at heart. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Budesa as my primary physician for over 14 years.

Dr Budesa spends a lot of time with me, answering questions and providing thoughtful professional advice. She always has suggestions that I hadn't thought of. I think very highly of Dr Budesa.
Always excellent.
While I did wait for Dr. Zinser a bit longer than usual, I would MUCH rather wait for a doctor who spends time with their patients than have them keep to a tight schedule and rush me out the door. I needed to have a conversation with Dr. Zinser about out my health and was able to really talk through it and get good advice.
Dr Swiridoff is the best
This was an "Emergent Condition" unscheduled appointment: Dr. Swirdoff responded with a high sense of personal and professional care. He is without question the best Primary Care Doctor I've experienced.
Dr. Harrington and her staff are, and have always been, very nice, responsive thoughtful and helpful. They are a great team. If this team were to leave the system, is probably follow them. (Also, Promptness for scheduled appointments has improved significantly over the last 12 - 18 mos.)
Dr Nomie is very thorough. More than exceeded my expectation for a first time visit with him.

There simply are not enough doctors of Dr Swiridoff's caliber. He is extremely knowledgeable about health and health issues. Dr. Swiridoff is thorough, respectful, communicates clearly, honestly and directly, and is supportive of helping me achieve a higher level of a healthy life. He was able yo teach me about my health concerns as well as teach me about the medications to help me with those issues. I felt as though I had gone back about 30 years in time when I met with Dr. Swiridoff because he seemed 100% present with me and focused on my needs. It has been decades since I have seen a doctor who doesn't appear to be rushing out of the room or distracted by something else. It means the world to me to have a doctor who is attentive and responsive to my health issues and the reasons I am there. I am so very thankful Dr. Swiridoff is my PCP!
They are considerate of my needs and treat me like they care.
Always feel well taken very good care of here!
Dr Pfaff is very professional and allows me to discuss everything I need to related to my health. I also appreciate that she does continued learning to keep up to date with all things medical.
Dr. Swiridoff and his staff are always very friendly, caring and compassionate. I would never consider changing doctors. He is extremely responsive to anything I have to tell him, and responds very quickly.
Dr. Swiridoff without a doubt probably the best doctor I've seen in my adult life.
The provider I saw was very nice, would recommend

My husband and I always feel Dr Swiridoff has our needs covered and will refer us to a specialist if necessary.
Excellent experience. Dr. Nomi is great.
Professional, personable and courteous.
I already have recommended Dr Nomie to a family member and others as well. He is now our "family" doctor. We like and trust him and he has helped us all. He has been able to bring us all relief with his OMT treatments. I am unaware of any other osteopathic doctors locally who are trained in what he does. We feel very fortunate to have found him and greatly appreciate his care for our family! He is a very conscientious and personable doctor, and I believe his practice load is growing because of that. I understand that is the reason that it takes longer to schedule appointments now. That is a good thing, that other people are also getting the benefit of his care as well.
The Doctor is knowledgeable and caring. A great human being.
Everyone there is Excellent
Dr Swiridoff and staff are great!
