The issues with Prime Care are not related to the medical care providers. its the bureaucracy.

I'd like to give a shout-out to the "office staff" they are constantly busy but they can multitask like nobody's business! So much stress but they never show it!üíö

Not all physicians are skilled medical technicians or work pleasantly with their patients on a personal level. Shalini Sirisena IS excellent in both categories!

Dr. Shalini is caring and wonderful physician. I wouldn't see anyone else.
1/18/2026
I gave good rating to staff assuming is in reference to the doctor not to the office staff and the despicable office manager. If we are taking overall is so hard to rate them because It is like day and night. Doctor Shalini is great the office people are awful.
1/13/2026
She listened. She acted with professionalism.
12/11/2025
Shalini is the best provider I've ever gone to in my many years of living. I truly believe that she takes the time and really puts a lot of effort into making sure that we get the best care as a patient. Would highly recommend her, which I have actually to family members and don't want to see anyone else but Shalini.
12/10/2025
Shalini is the most compassionate PCP I've ever had. She's through, thoughtful, caring, sympathetic and yes, loving. She listens to you. Never rushes your visit. Always takes care to ensure you get the right care. And...she has gorgeous hair. ?

I love Shalini. She's very thorough. She listens. She's patient. And she also knows, she's very knowledgeable about, you know, information.

I will be coming back again.

World class experience!
11/14/2025
Dr. Sirisena is the best primary care provider that I've had. I've known her for many, many years and she is truly the very best. Thank you.
11/14/2025
Positive experience with an efficient and considerate physician.
11/10/2025
Dr. Shalini is truly amazing. She actively listens to your concerns and addresses each one individually and in detail. I admit I am not a big fan of the front desk staff, not sure if they are just understaffed but the phone is rarely answered and so it takes some time to actually set up an appointment. They also did not call me to get my bloodwork done although the order was put in last month.
11/6/2025
The office is very accommodating; they take my limited mobility into consideration and the PA is willing to work holistically with me on my health.
11/5/2025
I like the way Dr. Shalini treats me. She is the best. I always ask and wait to get her appointment. Very thankful to her.
11/4/2025
I had a very positive experience with my provider.She is very professional. Takes time to listen to my concerns.
11/3/2025
Hi, my appointment with Dr. Shalini went well. I was able to discuss all my concerns and questions and she went through, I had a list because I can't remember everything and I'd rather be prepared. And she took the time to go through all my lists and answer everything and even went over things for the future. So I was greatly appreciated everything that she did.
10/23/2025
Shalini always takes the time to answer all my questions and is a great provider.

Dr Sirisena ALWAYS provides the best medical visit. She is knowledgeable and professional while providing care that is personal. We come with a list of questions and leave with all the answers. We can't thank her enough for her care and concern
9/30/2025
Not many people can honestly say they look forward to a doctor's visit but I can! Dr Sirisena makes our annual check up a comfortable experience but is thorough and professional while providing. I am happy to say I trust Dr Sirisena with all my health concerns
9/25/2025
Best Dr in the world. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate. The best!!!!
9/23/2025
The doctor is great. I recommend her 10/10. However, there is not much confidentiality when checking in. I always have to wait very long after my appointment time. I waited an hour yesterday, and because it took so long, the lab closed and I was unable to do my bloodwork. The front desk receptionists weren't very welcoming. A woman walked in and was attempting to write her name to check in, and the lady at the desk asked her multiple times for her name. She said "I didn't want to explain everything out loud." Then when she was called back to be seen, the woman used her first and last name. This was very uncomfortable for me because I heard her ask for confidentiality which wasn't granted.
9/22/2025
This was my first visit to see Shalini but because she was so friendly and personable, I felt like I've known her for years. On top of that she was knowledgeable and caring which I will appreciate going forward.
9/19/2025
This was my first time at this office. PA Shalini was wonderful. She took down an accurate past medical history, discussed my concerns and we discussed a plan going forward. I am looking forward to many years at this practice with PA Shalini
9/15/2025
I have never met a provider who is so attentive and caring. She always goes above and beyond with her patients. She's a great asset to HMH.
9/10/2025
Shalini Siriseni is a professional, wonderful, caring PA. I recommend her often to others.
8/14/2025
I have been a patient of Shalini Sirisena for many years, and she is excellent. She shows demonstrated competency, medical knowledge and patient compassion. In my opinion, she is the best HMH provider in that practice (and I have seen them all) and should be valued as such.
8/14/2025
Absolutely love Dr. Shalini, she is one of a kind. The best personality literally and listens to all my concerns.
8/13/2025
I love kindness and respect
8/12/2025
Hi, I have been seeing Shalini Sirisena for close to 10 years now, and I think she's absolutely the best provider I've ever had. She's so careful, she would explain everything in detail, so kind, so empathetic, literally the best. I myself have worked in the medical field my whole life. I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like her. The only thing that I would say, and this has nothing to do with Shalini Sirisena, is that the office itself looks very beat down and run down. And after all the years I've gone there, there's been no renovation. So it's kind of, you know, really dated. But other than that, it's great.
8/11/2025
Shalini Sirisena is exceptional! Very professional, helpful & takes her time listening to my requests.
8/7/2025
Dr. Shalini, is a wonderful doctor. She cares for her patients and I have been going to her for 12 years now. I am not happy with the front desk tho. They are not nice at all. They do not give the doctor my messages when I left the office after a complete physical, and got my test results back, I forgot to ask a question and just ask them if they could forward the message to the Dr. and they refused and one of the girls was laughing, still wait in for a reply. I doubt the doctor even saw it. I guess I need to make another appointment just to get an answer to my question.
8/5/2025
Dr. Shalini Seracini was just wonderful! She took her time with me, listened to all my concerns and questions. She was thorough and thoughtful. I shall highly recommend her to my family and friends.
8/4/2025
I am so very grateful for Dr Shalini. She is wonderful and I trust her implicitly.
7/31/2025
Shalini is very knowledgeable reviews all preventive diagnostic screenings and present concerns. Truly listens with 100% eye contact when discussing health concerns. I feel cared for and very lucky to have a provider so attentive and qualified.
7/29/2025
Excellent Doctor
7/28/2025
Dr. Sirisena goes above and beyond to help me resolve all my medical issues. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate.
7/21/2025
Hi, my feedback is when the medical assistant comes in before the doctor, I don't think that they should go into details of any sicknesses or illness that the patient may have. There was a person that came in and he was the, I guess he was the assistant before the doctor, and he said, I was there for cancer, and I wasn't. And I instantly had anxiety. I do suffer with anxiety. Yeah, it was bad. I was very confused, and he just left me very confused and worried. So that's the issue. But then the doctor came in later, and I told her, she made me feel better. So Dr. Shalini, kudos.
7/16/2025
The Staff is great and my time with Dr. Shalini was great and I was able to cover all my health concerns
7/15/2025
She is amazing, she makes my office visit. hopeful enjoyable. I always look forward to seeing her.
7/10/2025
Dr Sirisena has been a great health care provider. She takes care of our needs and concerns and addresses them in the best way possible.
7/8/2025
My provider Shalini Sirisena is absolutely wonderful. However, the front office staff were not very pleasant. I've been there many times and understand the check-in process. The person at the check-in counter was busy doing something and basically didn't acknowledge me so I just wrote my name on the list and sat down. When I went to leave the young girl at the window acted as if I was interrupting or disturbing her. I own a business and you don't get a second chance for a first impression. The first impression at the office is terrible. Fortunately, I love the doctors so I over look it and move on.
6/12/2025
Shalini Sirisena takes the time to listen and gives her expert advice. Extremely knowledgeable, thorough and a true GIFT to her patients. Waiting room is not an issue because one knows the end results. Shalini goes above and beyond. A true Angel on Earth. My husband has her as his physician and Loves her too.
6/9/2025
I had a very positive experience and would absolutely recommend.
6/4/2025
I think that virtual telehealth appointments are really good, being that if you can't make it into the office. But I waited 40 minutes for this doctor for me to see. And I got a text saying that she was running late, which was fine. But then she never came on. I never got to have an appointment with her. I was never seen. The next day I called the office and I let them know to make sure that they did not charge me for my copayment and they told me that they would look into it and call me back. They never called me back and I never was able to reschedule my appointment yet.
6/4/2025
I have been a patient there for over 20 years. They are the best. I used to have longer wait time before being seen, which has been greatly improved. I would recommend this office to anyone. They are ones of the best.
5/23/2025
Dr Sirisena is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease and handles her visits in a professional and comforting manner. Spends a much time as needed, never rushed and listens to offer feedback and viable solutions. Will always recommend her to family and friends!
5/22/2025
Shalini is an excellent provider.

5/15/2025
I am especially happy that I am able to have my testing done on the same site, an insurance issue, but it is most convenient.
5/14/2025
The entire process from checking in to leaving was smooth.
