Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates, P.A. Reviews
They were kind and great with my mom and was very thorough…we like this aspect because not to many doctors will take the time to spend with there patients…
Always called back within minutes of checking in for appointments! All staff are very caring & courteous! Couldn’t ask for a better doctor! My PA, Marla English-Pickett is absolutely amazing! Never feel like I’m just another patient!
Very caring and takes time to hear you out.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Vozza. Dr. Vozza is a great doctor and I am glad she is treating me
I saw Dr. Vozza recently to establish care. I was very impressed with everything her office has to offer. From the ease of check in, to the professionalism of the staff (Keke, you're awesome!), I was very pleased. Highly recommend this physician and all of her associates to anyone!

CAN I COMPLETE ALL MY LABORATORY AT THE BROOKRIDGE OFFICE?
Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates provides in-house laboratory services along with high-quality, comprehensive patient care. Your practitioner may order a lab test to either confirm a diagnosis or determine an abnormality that may be causing you discomfort. Instead of going to another facility, you’re able to simply complete the test in-house, streamlining test results and improving the convenience of the service.
The majority of laboratory testing can be completed in the office, and results are often available within a few days. If your requested service can’t be completed in-house, your doctor gives you a referral to an outside provider to perform the test. Once you complete the test with the outside provider, the results will be sent back to the office for analysis.
WHO CAN I CONTACT ABOUT MY LAB RESULTS?
Since laboratory testing is performed in-house, you can call Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates directly to see if your results are ready. Often, test results may be ready within a few days. Our policy is that if the test results are normal, you will probably not receive a phone call from the office. You can also request a copy thru our patient portal.
