First, it took almost four months to get in with a PCP (which isn't necessarily ARC's fault, but they're part of the problem). When I finally got in, FNP Hemmen at ARC Far West was rude, argumentative, says one thing at one visit and denies ever saying it on the second visit (should not have gone back for a second visit, but definitely won't be back for a third), refers you out for literally everything (including all the things my other PCPs have done at my visits with them), and is not afraid to let you know that she does NOT have time for your concerns at her visit, even when there's an empty lobby. The bedside manner was that of a hungry grizzly bear with a thorn in each paw. I will give kudos to the nurse or MA that rooms you and gets your vitals. She was kind both times, even when having to deal with that horrendous provider all day. I can find friendlier, more thorough care elsewhere and will NOT be going back. What a terrible experience -- both times.

It's been more than a year since my one visit with Dr. Meyerson. The visit is hard to forget, no…read morematter how much I try to. I was in severe pain, scared, trying not to miss any time from my new job and trying to avoid a trip to the ER. I could barely think straight. When Dr. Meyerson blew me off, I told him something was very wrong. I didn't think I could drive home. Dr. Meyerson told me I needed to go to Shoal Creek (psychiatric hospital.) I asked if he thought it was all in my head. "That's not what I'm saying," was his response. Every time I tried to figure out why, he's say, "that's not what I'm saying." I thought I was having a psychotic break. My Mom came to pick me up and take me to Shoal Creek. She asked him why I should go to Shoal Creek. He said it was because I said I couldn't drive. After some more discussion he told us to hurry up because they needed the room. We went to the ER after that. By that point I couldn't even move my head. I was diagnosed wth a pinched nerve, and they assured me there was no reason to go to Shoal Creek. Let's review: 1. Being scared and unable to drive is a good reason to go to a psychiatric hospital. 2. Repeatedly says "That's not what I'm saying," but never says what he actually means. 3.Needs you to hurry up and give them the room back. 4. Completely misses the disgnosis.

I almost hate to post this review because I want to keep Dr. Meyerson all to myself! If only! LOL!…read moreI think he is hands down the best doctor in this city. He walks in with a smile on his face, discusses your symptoms thoroughly, asks a multitude of questions and takes as much time as each patient needs. Four years ago I felt a lump in my breast. Although he had no openings, he allowed me to come in after hours that night and he waited there for me. After feeling the lump, he immediately got on the phone and set up a mammogram and an appointment with a surgeon. Yes, I had breast cancer. He wasn't going to waste a day getting me the diagnosis and treatment I needed. I have a wealth of medical issues but he is always patient, kind and concerned no matter what. He never just treats your problem; he works hard to get to the bottom of it. I have been using a walker for two years due to 24/7 chronic hip pain. I thought it was from chemo. After suffering for such a long time, I finally went to see Dr. Meyerson. He said he thought there was nothing wrong with my hip itself, that it was something affecting the nerves in my spine. But since is is thorough, he did order an X-ray to rule out bone cancer. He ordered an MRI, and sure enough, I had bulging discs pressing on my nerves that was causing my hip pain. His nurse called the day after my blood tests to tell me there was indication of thyroid problems. I went in for a second set of blood tests and after those, the doctor referred me to an endocrinologist who diagnosed me with Graves' Disease and hyperthyroidism. I could have gone into cardiac arrest! I am currently under treatment for those issues. I never would have known if he hadn't checked me out so well. His staff is just as awesome. You can tell they love the man for whom they work. It is an office full of kind and understanding people. His nurse, Barbara, continued to call me to make sure I was following the doctor's orders. She called me five times in four working days. That is exceptional followup! She even called the endocrinologist to make sure I went to my appointment. Who does that these days? NOBODY! I feel special when I go there. I am not just another cow being led through a chute. I am an individual with problems that Dr. Meyerson is going to fix come hell or high water. I feel safe knowing my health and my life are in his supremely capable hands. All I can say is WOW! He needs to give training sessions to the majority of other doctors here in Austin regarding how to treat a patient. I am so proud that he is my doctor. I respect him so very much.

As others have mentioned, her treatment of and ability to connect with patients is the best I've ever seen.

I recently have had a host of medical issues and she has tirelessly supported me and responded to my every need. It is true that you must book a few months in advance for annual exams, etc., but that is the case with many professional services so that doesn't bother me at all. I hope she never retires or moves!

I recently wrote a review for my new AWESOME dentist and it had me thinking about my AWESOME…read moredoctor, Dr. Sorensen. I'm surprised there aren't any reviews of her yet - she runs a small practice but she's a big deal. My first appointment with her was last fall. I was overdue for my annual and, like any normal human being, wasn't looking forward to it. A good friend recommended her with a glowing review. My intention was to call the office, just to ask if she was accepting new patients (she only accepts 600-800 so I figured my chances of getting in were slim). Much to my surprise, Dr. Sorensen was the one to answer the phone! That impressed me enough that I scheduled an appointment for the next week. My first impression of Dr. Sorensen was excellent, and things only got better from there. She literally does everything - she is a one-woman staff, which means she does everything from checking your vitals to dealing with insurance. This approach means that you get to spend more time with her, which means that you feel like anything but just another patient. She also takes a conservative approach to medicine, so when I told her about my occasional anxiety, she recommended things like yoga instead of jumping to more invasive/expensive treatments. Best part of my experience with her? I ended up having a bit of follow-up work the next day, and was obviously concerned about the results. She got back to me the next morning to let me know all was OK and thoroughly explain everything. And the day after that, I got my pap results back. That's right...TWO DAYS after my appointment I got my pap results! I'm used to waiting a minimum of two weeks. She called as soon as she got the results because she didn't want me to worry longer than I needed to...wow. If you are looking for a doctor who uses modern technology (online scheduling, mostly paperless, etc.) but won't provide you with the typical, cold doctor's experience, I strongly recommend Dr. Sorensen.

My initial visit was very through and the Dr took as much time as was needed to understand my medical history, make suggestions, ask questions and actually sit down and have a conversation! That is impressive in todays world. Her practice is purposefully small, self-managed and her interest in medicine and people is clearly visible in how she runs her business and treats her patients. I nearly fell out of my chair when I called to schedule an appointment and Dr Sorensen answered the phone herself. Unheard of! She also makes herself available on nights and weekends to answer calls or come to the office in case urgent issues arise. I believe she truly cares about her patients and wants to manage her practice with the best technology and information available to her. She leverages technology to allow her to have the time to treat the patients, rather than using technology as a crutch to fit more patients into her day. I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Sorensen, her sense of professionalism was first rate and she has a compassionate manner that is ideal for families looking for a Family Practice. If all small businesses could be run in the same manner Dr Sorensen is running her business, we would have a true sense of what community really means.

I wound up switching doctors because I felt like I couldn't communicate with her and I wasn't ultra-confident in her abilities to diagnose or tell me the whole story.

While it took a while for him to get to me (expected when you get a same day appointment with a big clinic), once I got in to see him, he was fantastic. He was friendly, took the time to talk to me about what might have caused my injury and, because of his friendly and careful questioning, I realized the cause might have been something totally different than I had anticipated. He gave me a range of solutions and helped me pick the most appropriate one for me. Then he took some time to help me understand the best exercises I could do on my own to rehab and at what point I should come back in if it's not getting better.
