In October 2023 I went to SSM Health Dean for a Mohs procedure to remove a basal cell cancer on my…read moreface. The dermatologist removed the basal cell and then I went to the SSM Aesthetic center so the plastic surgeon could close the site. I expected skilled care and a good outcome. Unfortunately, my experience was far from that. The procedure left me with unnecessary scarring and complications. I sent photos of the botched site and returned to the surgeon's office in fall 2024 seeking advice. They recommended a scar revision with a different plastic surgeon. That appointment was scheduled for late February 2025. I went to the appointment. After waiting 45 minutes, I had to leave. I was told at the scheduling desk that this surgeon often double books. If I wanted to reschedule, the next available appointment would be in May. I typically don't leave reviews, but people deserve to know what kind of experience and outcome they might expect. I regret choosing this practice for such an important procedure, especially on my face. If you are considering Mohs surgery, I strongly recommend researching other doctors who have a proven track record of excellent results and compassionate patient care. You might want to avoid SSM Health's plastic surgeons.

Beamsley was my third attempt at finding a primary care doctor who didn't make me want to strangle…read morethem. I'm in my mid-20s and have some medical issues that require management by a hematologist; I'm also a graduate student and very invested in my own care. Previous primary care docs had treated me like an idiot and given me info that I strongly suspected was erroneous. I tried Beamsley on the advice of another grad student (who is also, like me, female), and I am so glad I did. During my first physical, I mentioned that friends of mine in Missouri had been required to discontinue Depo Provera (the birth control shot) because physicians there told them that no one should be on it for than five years. Beamsley, who is also an ob-gyn (I see someone else for that), told me he had never heard anything about such a limit, but he would check the literature. I sort of assumed that was the end of it, but two days later, HE CALLED ME AT HOME to tell me that he had looked into it and found nothing in the medical journals about such a limit. He has always taken the time to answer any questions I've had and he obviously respects my intelligence. He's a little socially awkward, but not obnoxious or insensitive. I rarely like doctors even when I have to deal with them, but I like Beamsley a lot, and I feel lucky to have found such a good PC.

My husband and I have been going to him for years and now we have a daughter who also sees him too! We are just very please with Dr. Beamsley. He is compassionate, friendly, he LISTENS and excellent bedside manners; meaning, when I was in the hospital after delivering my daughter, he would sit next to the bed to talk instead of standing. As for the earlier review about Dr. Beamsley issuing fake absences, I truly find that hard to believe. I hope that individual who made those accusations really look hard at themselves and realize he/she is really wrong about Dr. Beamsley.

Update: someone is reviewing reviews and covering themselves. They updated the website within hours…read moreof my Yelp review. Screenshot of the website pre- and post-review attached. There is little regard for continuity of mental health care. After seeing Gil Roth since 2021, when I called to schedule an appointment after a four month lapse, I was told I was no longer eligible to be a patient as I did not have a PCP in the clinic. I haven't had a PCP in the clinic since 2023. I never received notice in writing of this new "policy" (a nurse later coldly told me this isn't a "policy", but that "Gill Roth and Dr. Cordes are providers that were hired by Associated Physicians to see our patients"). There is nothing posted on their website, even now: https://www.apmadison.com/behavioral-health (It even says Gil is accepting new patients- ironic, since they are actively turning them away). So beware- because it isn't in writing as far as I can tell- if you aren't in their PCP club, even if you are a pre-existing patient with years of a relationship established- they have very little regard for the continuity of your mental health care.

It was then we found this wonderful Doctor, Julia McMurray; gentle, kind, comforting, reassuring AND an extremely skilled Physician; yes our Angel.

She gladly answered all of my questions and covered any other topics that she felt should be addresses when establishing care with a new patient. She didn't just want to know my medical history. She actually cared about my lifestyle and quality of life. She also isn't test-happy, which is pretty rare. Despite being in good health, most doctors send me to get lab tests every time I visit them, which I always think is an unnecessary waste of money, but probably common in the age of medical malpractice lawsuits. I have a ton of respect for Dr McMurray and am happy to have found a doctor that I enjoy seeing.

As soon as open enrollment for insurance was available, I made the move as fast as I could. I have never had a bad visit here. I've ALWAYS received the best care possible. As someone who is a zebra when they typically treat cows (referencing my very complex medical history) they've handled it with superior care, concern and streamlined servicing. I've had everything done from physicals, lab work, physical/cognitive therapy, specialized treatment plans and about anything else you can imagine-- including surgeries contracted through UW Health Systems. Yes, there are preapprovals required for certain types of concerns, but I've never had an issue with paperwork going and has been done with little to no effort on my part. My doctor is Kyoko Felland and I ABSOLUTELY love her attention to detail and focus on my overall health. She always knows me and my concerns without having to look up my chart. I enjoy seeing her so much, I'd consider her a friend if it wasn't awkward. :) My husband had another PCP but after my stellar experience with her, decided to make the witch to GHC as well. She spends a good amount of time with us each visit and even catches up with our personal life mentions from previous visits. My children all see

Disappointing Experience - Inflexible Policies & Rude Staff…read more I recently had a frustrating experience at Capital Clinic that has led me to take my business elsewhere. I scheduled an appointment for Saturday, March 8th, at 11:20 AM due to serious breathing issues--potential pneumonia or bronchitis--on top of moderate to severe asthma. Despite my medical condition, I was turned away for being just nine minutes late due to unexpected traffic, likely caused by a UW event. By the time the front desk staff located my appointment in the system, it was 11:31 AM, and I was informed--rather rudely--that I had "violated" their 10-minute late policy and would not be seen until 2:00 PM. No consideration was given to my urgent respiratory issues, the traffic conditions, or the fact that we drove 30 minutes to get there. Given the clinic's inflexible policies and unhelpful staff, I will be taking my healthcare needs elsewhere. UW urgent care facilities not only have more accommodating scheduling policies, but they are also covered by my insurance. If you're looking for compassionate, patient-focused care, I'd recommend avoiding Capital Clinic.

So much of my medical history and records are there so I am reluctant to just switch to somewhere else. But the services continue to decline. They now are charging a $10 fee for MyChart messages that require anything over 5 minutes of service. What?! I gave the eye center another try for a small service of adjusting my eyeglass. They wouldn't do it if the glasses weren't bought from them! I went to another eyeglass place where I didn't purchases my glasses and they were more than happy to make the adjustment and even went further by putting on some new silicone pads! I have a future change in my insurance and they requested I contact them. Why? The insurance they have on record is what I have now and when my insurance changes I will contact them. So I called them and they were condescending and rather abrupt in telling me all about what I need to do. (of which I am fully aware).

Next Dr Bathske, was rude, judgemental, and unprofessional with the visit as well. Definitely not qualities you look for in a doctor.
