if you are looking for a Dr office with caring, kind office help who listen and want to help you,…read moreyou are looking in the wrong place. My opinion only but it is what it is. Office personal are not medically trained but yet will shut any concerns you have down and will not break the wall they place. Greeted with an attitude like they know more than you and your concerns not welcoming to help lead you to tests or answers for continuing issues that their answers are not healing. Seems if you call with a concern too a secretary is all you get to speak with. Not actual nurse or medical provider. This place is only for superficial care. Got a wound, they may be the place to go but for care over 40, go somewhere else. In my opinion you are better suited for to save $ and use a phone a Dr in this day and age. why would you want to put up with the attitude they offer when your priority as well as theirs should be doing the best for their patients? Again, my opminion. Everyone's is different and I probably sound like a Karen but I have personally never dealt with a Dr office like this before. Never even gone as far as considering writing a negative review for anyone like this, but this felt warranted.

Staff failed to follow through with intake for new patient, treated my child as a patient for 2 years and then declined to treat him, stating he was not an established patient.

While pharmacist was on call trying to get refills, Mia made the comment that if we needed $4.00 so bad to come by the office and she'd give it to me. I heard this myself as the phone was on speaker. Money wasn't the issue. Getting the prescription refilled was. After calling to talk to Dr. Barnes about the problem, unsuccessfully, I was called back by the very same office staff the next day with a written statement from the doctor which was dismissive at the very least. He couldn't be bothered to call a patient back with a legitimate problem. Appalling behavior for a medical practice. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

He is not interested in your care but only how much dollars he can make from alternative treatments and therapies and machines for a very real medical condition. Then after he sells you his bill of goods he disappears and you never see him again. He diagnosed me but then would not tell me where to go in order to get a definitive diagnosis and he refused to test me. I was in great pain while I was there and his office staff only "fluffed" me off. His assistant fit me for another pessary only to later find out it was the same size as the one I already had. So this is another lie Roberts told me. After his therapeutic technique the pessary should be resized and refit and nothing of the sort was done. I was hurting very badly while in his office after his diagnosis of me from two years ago and had questions none of which were answered nor did his assistant or office staff see to care. I can only assume that I was not beneficial in his making more money from me. After Dottie retired then Roberts new assistant is not at all helpful and definitely not caring. She just left the room and told me nothing nor did they give me a script or any other information? How uncompassionate a man is he? Just stay away from him and go to another OB/GYN because the choices Doctor Roberts makes regarding your health is for his own self motivation which is money. Plain and simple he made as much money as he could from the Medicare patients and when he could make no more he dropped them as a patient and left us all hanging. Hippocrates said this: Whenever a doctor cannot do good he must be kept from doing harm.

When I first started seeing him, the pain was so bad in my back and neck, and I had a hard time sitting, standing, and even moving my arms. I had seen my regular doctor, then went through physical therapy, but nothing helped. The doctor said that I has osteo-arthritis in my cervical spine. He said I would be in this pain for the rest of my life, and within 15 years, my spine would fuse together. He said the only thing I can do now is pain management. I was in despair. Someone suggested a chiropractor. After my prior experience with one, I was afraid. When I first saw Dr. Carlson, I explained my fears of chiropractors, and of my physical condition that led me to him. He assured me that I would be ok, and that I would get through this. He did his first adjustment with gentleness, and had other methods of adjusting my neck, which was one of my fears. I remember being in a therapy room and just cried. I felt so hopeless. He walked into that room, and I cried to him, and he again reassured me that I would be ok. I had to go to him for adjustments, initially, about twice a week for several weeks, but he got me past the point of despair! It has been well over 10 years now, and I still go to him regularly. Not only am I fully functional, but my spine has not fused! I had even started running, and completed many races, including a full marathon! Yes, I still have issues, but he quickly works to get me back on track. He is very kind and compassionate, and his Staff are also very helpful and kind. I have been with him many years, and don't see myself going anywhere else.

She's a wonderful listener & always very attentive to my concerns, & changes in pain levels. She gave me physical therapy exercises to do at home & had several treatment recommendations I used in addition to using medication. She closely monitors my pain levels not only the day of my appointment, but throughout the entire one month period between appointments. She never rushes through her time with me & provides a very personalized patient care experience. Shes always very open & honest, explaining why or why not she recommends or prescribes various treatments. In addition to medication & home exercise, she gives spinal injections that provide excellent pain relief & allow me to perform more activities without using more medication. As a retired RN of 32 years, I highly recommend Dr Stelling, not only because she is a highly specialized, intelligent physician, but also because of her sincere concern for her patients. She also has professional, caring staff. I'm so fortunate to be a patient at her Clinic.
