I feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Nikki Rydberg for my physician home loan. She repeatedly went above and beyond the call of duty to help me. She not only was the one who discovered a long-standing error in my credit … More report that even I had somehow missed (my medical student loans were reported in duplicate!), but she helped correct that error for the sake of this loan, and additionally helped me figure out next steps to take for permanent dispute of this reporting error for the sake of my credit in general. She was available to me around the clock for any and all questions, and I truly could not have asked for a better partner in navigating this stressful time. @Heritage Bank and @Physician Bank, you are incredibly lucky to have Nikki on your staff – I do not have enough positive things to say about my experience working with her!

I need to provide a big thank you to Julie. I had an extremely hard time finding a lender who would provide a preapproval after relocating for work. All the other lenders were immediately dismissive since I have complicated finances due … More to owning multiple rental properties and the way lenders have been tightening their approvals. Julie straight up told me: I will find a way to get it done. And she followed through with that statement. Now I am typing my review in the comfort of my new home. It wasn't an easy process due to how complicated the structure of my properties are, but complicated and not having a home are two completely different scenarios. No one else could do it, but Julie did. A much deserved should out and 5 star review for getting the job done that no one else could. I am grateful.

We had the utmost pleasure to work with Julie Velline. She is amazing!!! She helped us close the house in 4 days!! She honestly did God's work and made our dream come true. We were with another lender for 2.5 weeks and were not satisfied … More with their service. The previous lender clearly did not specialized in physician loans like we thought they do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made the process more complicated than what it really is. It was the constant back and forth and none of our goals were being met. You would think there'll be minimal issues when you have 1 pharmacist and 1 medical physician in the household with 2 incomes. We had major headaches with the previous lender before we finally gave up on them and decided to be brave to reach out to a new lender during the buying process!! I called 1-2 other lenders and they all gave me the realistic answer of "No, we need at least 3-4 weeks to gather all the paperwork and process the loan". It was understandable considering we were with another lender for literally 2.5 weeks yet no loan was officially closed. I finally reached out to Julie for one final effort… and it was on Labor Day, 9/4! I did not anticipate any response due to the holiday and clearly all the banks would be closed. However, Julie responded!! She said they were closed for the holiday but she was willing to look over our documentation. I asked her if she can realistically help us close the loan on our closing date & she said "I don't see why not??". I was nearly in shock. My boyfriend and I sent over all the required documents. Julie and her processor literally worked around the clock for 2-3 days straight, I tell you! She was super responsive to her emails and worked like no other. She made sure to take care of us and to meet our goal of closing the house on 9/13/23. Honestly wow. Everyone we encountered during this buying process was nice and enjoyable to work with. They clearly know what they're doing and clearly have worked with other physicians and healthcare professionals before. They know how doctors live their life and their typical situations. They didn't have much questions regarding our background and finances. A+++ for Physician Bank and Julie! We are truly thankful for you.

We will continue to work with Physician Bank in the future, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

We just closed on our new home today and couldn't be more impressed with the service provided by Ryan at Physician Bank! He was incredibly responsive from start to finish. This was our first time buying a home so we had a lot of questions … More and Ryan was so patient and helped us every step of the way. We were able to get into our first choice home and close within 30 days. After extensive research we were most impressed by the choices and service provided by Ryan at Physician Bank which is why we ultimately chose this lender. Thank you!
