I have been a patient of Dr Etheridge for over 20 yrs. Dr Etheridge is extremely knowledgeable about all fields of medicine. She is a great listener and will always guide you in the right direction. My entire family goes to her office. I’ve been going to Carmine for a few years and she is also amazing! Very helpful, patient, personable, and kind.

I love Dr Etheridge, I switched to her after becoming disillusioned with a doctor I had been seeing for almost 10 years. I was so glad I made the switch. I will not go to another family doctor.
