Dr. Brown is the most caring and compassionate Dr. I've ever met. If I could give 100 stars, I…read morewould. In a world of rushed, unpersonal, and uncaring Dr.s, she stands out as an example of what a doctor should be: caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and personable. She makes you feel as vauled as a family member. She truly takes time to get to know each patient and ensure she not only listens but truly understands patients' symptoms and concerns. Rather than just writing a prescription to mask the symptoms, she is dedicated to finding the root cause and the plan of care that will best solve that problem. She perfectly balances her doctorates in traditional and natural medicine to meet the needs of the patients and find the path to healing and and optimal health. She is incredibly thorough and detailed in her approach to caring for her patients. Several members of my family are Dr. Brown's patients and they all leave their appointments beyond impressed with Dr. Brown's knowledge, compassion, and dedication to each patient. She is well worth the price and any potential wait. The fact that she doesn't accept insurance, while unfortunate for personal finances, is actually a good thing. Because Dr. Brown doesn't work with insurance, she's not ruled by them. This is why she can care for patients as they need, not as the insurance companies deem "the cheapest approach". If you look at your last co-pay bill from a doctor's visit, you'll see those appointments are billed at THOUSANDS of dollars. Dr. Brown isn't paid by insurance, so her prices of $895 for a new patient and an average of $350 for follow-up appointments (based on complexity), are incredibly reasonable. This is also why she can spend more time with her patients-- without insurance setting their typical limits (see X amount of patients daily and each appointment can only be 15 minutes max), Dr. Brown can dedicate the amount of time the patient needs for each appointment. This is why Dr. Brown's shortest appointment is an hour long, with some scheduled for as long as 90 minutes. Dr. Brown is so dedicated to her patients and ensuring the highest possible care that if a patient's needs exceed the scheduled appointment time, Dr. Brown stays until their needs are met. Dr. Brown prioritizes the patient in front of her. She looks at the whole person: life experiences, each system of the body, and their daily quality of life. There's no other Dr. as thorough, caring, or knowledge. You cannot get a better experience or meet a more dedicated and caring doctor.

Everything was fine until I asked for an increase in a medication she prescribed to me for years. She increased it per my request. Having stressful things going on in my life, I ran out. When I had a problem and ran out, she put my life at risk by stopping the prescription. Her office staff kept on saying that Walgreens had a refill, and they did not. In other words if you have a problem that she contributed to, you are done. My last visit was over $500. Told her that Walgreens did not have a refill. She acted like it would be taken care of, and so did her office staff. It was not taken care of. When I called to tell her office that Walgreens never got the request for a refill, they required another appointment and more money to discuss it. If Dr Brown no longer wanted to precribe the medication, the professional thing to do would be to discuss a taper plan at my last appointment, and not risk the health of a patient. Abrupt discontinuation of this medication is known to cause seizures. I had to find a doctor who cares, after wasting over $500 on my last appointment. It all seems to be about making money, and not about the best interest for the patient anymore. I am very disappointed. I am thinking that I may report this incident to the State of Wisconsin, as this incident could have been life threatening. They never offered my $500 back after not refilling my restriction, even though they said they filled it. I am elderly, and really feel that I was mistreated and disrespected. All over Dr Carol Brown forgetting the oath she took, and her love for money that interred with her truly caring about my well being.

This is in response to the only other review on this business. The 1 star review: I happened to be…read morein the waiting room/reception area that day and I saw it all and heard every word from start to finish, and this woman's account is not even close to what happened!! Read on for more. I have been seeing Dr Nikki Allen as my primary care provider for a few years. On a couple of occasions Dr Nikki has been booked up when I needed an appointment so I've seen Dr Tim Allen. Although, he's primary an Addiction Specialist, he also serves as a General Practitioner. These two people are not only excellent, professional, caring doctors, who go way above and beyond for their patients, but they also serve and give so much of themselves in their community, especially to those in need, in a real, sincere, tangible way! I happened to be looking up the link to their website for a new friend who is looking for a new doctor (as I've referred others who have been beyond satisfied, btw) and came across this review . It grieves my heart and makes me angry to see them and their livelihood slandered in such an egregious manner. Therefore, I felt compelled to set the record straight. I could sit and type an entire dictation of what was said and done between this woman and the Allens, and between her and the police officers, but nobody wants to read that so I will try and sum it up. At NO time did Dr Timothy Allen raise his voice, let alone start "yelling" at this woman. Neither did his son, who happens to be one of his receptions. Both spoke so softly and calmly that I was in awe! Dr Tim never came anywhere close enough to put his hands in her face. He acted professionally the entire time. This woman was rude and disrupting their business even though Dr Tim was trying to accommodate her tardiness by letting her wait until he had finished with the other patients who were on time. She became more and more unruly. He had every right to call on the police department. It is private property and she was creating unrest and upsetting other patients. You wouldn't allow that in your home, would you? When she finally realized she wasn't going to get her way, she decided to claim racism. Not only was their not one racist word uttered nor implied by the Allens, but I've got news for you, my VERY WHITE friend was ALSO dismissed as a patient by Dr Allen for very similar reasons and he had been a patient for most of his life! Again, I could go on but I don't think it's necessary. Every slanderous claim that this woman made is a falsehood-- made up out of whole cloth. I also witnessed every interaction between her and the police officers. Again, those conversations didn't go anything like she claims. They said the opposite of what she claims, that Dr Allen "wrongly called them." They told her that he had every right to do so. They certainly did NOT come in "hot ready to attack" her. She has falsely slandered them as well. Finally, you don't have to believe my account. I encourage you to check them out for yourselves if you're in the market for a new doctor!

Found out son had a cyst in his head that was altering the overall structure as well as…read moredisplacement of a major artery. Went to see Dr. Reichert as a second opinion due to his ratings. After waiting an hour past our appointment time, he spent approximately 5 minutes (NOT kidding) with us. He came in the room, said "any headaches" (to which my son responded "yes"), with Dr. Reichert's response of "I'm not doing surgery because you don't need it." Didn't bring up his MRI results or discuss them, didn't talk about any of his structural abnormalities, didn't ask "how are you," didn't listen to any concerns, didn't ask if we had questions, kept tapping on the exam table - slouched and leaning back in the office chair - completely unprofessional, cocky, disrespectful, NO bedside manners, treated us like we didn't know anything (I myself have a medical degree as an NP), didn't even assess my son(!), opened the door, and walked us out of the room. I would NEVER recommend this provider to absolutely anyone. I have no idea who would rate him so highly, but I really hope that you look to other providers to have an understanding of what one would be like if they had their patient as the focus of attention, during an office visit that I am paying for, related to a pretty significant issue.

Not what I expected. Exceeded my expectation…read more I had to complete and bring some paperwork (medical history, etc.) and a CD with two CT scans. I thought it better to submit them prior to the app't so the Dr. might have a chance to review BEFORE my visit. How could he go through all that and the scans during the app't, which I expected to be 15-20 minutes? The doctor saw me within 10-15 minutes of my appointment time and spent over 45 minutes speaking (and listening) to me, doing a brief physical exam, and then reviewing, in detail, the CT scans of my cervical and lumbar regions. He didn't review the scan in advance. He spent the time to review them with me. I was not there to proceed with any particular action or surgery. I was there to CONSULT and strategize whether to take action now (I'm 67), or wait some years, maybe 10 or whatever, to live with my ongoing condition/s (I've had a discectomy and fusion already) and take action at some later date. Dr. King understood all that, and considering the complete Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) I have, he recommended we take a wait and see approach on the surgery. He did refer me to Dr. Doniparthi in the Pain Management clinic to again CONSULT the possibility of an injection or trigger point therapy. (I have seen her more than once before and had injections before). I did follow up with her the very next day and her assessment was basically the same - no assurance that any injection would help... might help, might not. So... wait and see as long as I could continue to function as is. I was very pleased that I was listened to, that a conservative approach was considered and taken, and will return to Dr. King, if and when, I deteriorate to needing some intervention.

And she will trust you will follow her instructions to the letter, but do. She has seen me through multiple surgeries and health problems. Each time she calmly listened to me, asked the right questions and made sure I was treated correctly.

She cares about providing you the care you want. She takes the time to understand your needs. She is amazing. I went back to her for advice even when I moved out of state because I needed someone I could trust. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

The appointments are on time, the staff are friendly, and the facility is always clean! There is a Lab/X-ray center on the same floor (it shares a waiting room) which is extremely convenient if your doctor orders any tests. There has only been one occasion I had to go to a separate facility, but that was for a unique blood test. An advantage to the Wheaton system is they offer online scheduling, emailing with your doctor, prescription refill request, etc. through a program called "MyChart". I work weird hours, so this has been especially helpful for managing things I don't have time for during regular business hours. Also, I've been able to get results faster on my own without having to come to the office.

I have suffered back and neck pain for years due to my extensive knee surgeries from being an athlete my entire life. As years went on, I also developed gut issues. Other doctors always threw medicine at me to "bandaid" over the issue, meanwhile the cut was still there... un healed. It was NO longer an option to sit on my hands. Something HAD to change. I knew I needed to find a SOLUTION. So this is where Dr. Scott came in. Upon first meeting him, he went into great detail to look at my health history and ask questions. He made me feel extremely comfortable to be transparent and open up. In addition, he took x rays and examined my body and checked in with me regarding my concerns and pain points. It was the first time I felt like a Doctor actually cared to HEAL my issues. This is just the beginning working with him. In addition to his chiropractic expertise, he will be helping me with my gut and diet as well. I feel confident knowing I have his support and direction on this next leg of my journey. I encourage you to see him if you want someone to care and is full of knowledge. I believe I have this one body to take care of the best I can, and I couldn't ask for anyone better to assist me during this time!

She, and her staff are quick to respond (they do have other patients, appointments and office hours). They are compassionate and patient when I am in pain, frustrated and teary eyed. They listen and really HEAR what I am telling them. I finally feel seen and heard. I have found relief with Dr. Traci, but she continues to fight for me and my quality of life. I am forever grateful, I highly recommend Dr. Traci.

It is difficult to write this because Dr. Purath did help me with my migraines; however, I have…read morevery rarely come across any service person--especially a Dr.--who would talk to me the way Dr. Purath talked to me today. Dr. Purath was rude, unprofessional, invalidating, and mean-spirited. My problems with Dr. Purath started with her nurse. Every time I called during an emergency or when something was wrong I was directed to her nurse. The nurse would then tell me that she would talk to the doctor and get back to me. The information that she would relay always sounded ridiculous. For example, I once had a migraine so bad that I had to be escorted to the emergency room. After being discharged, I called Dr. Purath's office to get a medication while I waited to see her again. The nurse told me there was nothing that they could do because I went to the ER. I was flabbergasted. Another incident happened in the late winter or early spring of this year. I went to go fill a script that had been giving me relief from my daily migraines only to be told that Dr. Purath blocked the script. When I called her office, I was told that I never came in for a follow up appointment. (I was feeling better). I thought that it was reasonable to call someone before you blocked their medication, but today when I saw Dr. Purath she said, "We don't babysit." This summer the medication that I was on Escitalopram had caused me to gain approximately thirty pounds. My primary care doctor and another highly qualified doctor said that they had seen Escitalopram do this before. So, I called Dr. Purath's office a couple of times. The nurse got back to me after the second phone call and again said she would relay my issue to Dr. Purath. I got a phone call back saying that the doctor wanted me to stay on this medication for approximately three to six months. To me, this was unacceptable. But, I was sure that if I actually talked to Dr. Purath, the conversation would be different. Problematically, there was a couple months wait, so I went back to my primary doctor and tried another med. It didn't work. I called Dr. Purath's office again, and they had a cancellation. I booked my appointment and was happy that I might find some answers. Well, I was definitely wrong. First, Dr Purath told me that she had never seen that kind of weight gain from that medication. (Two other doctors I have seen said they have, and it is all over the internet). Then, she said well it seems like you are seeing a lot of doctors. I said that I wanted to see her but that it was a long wait. I told her it was like a month and a half or two months to see her. Furthermore, I said that was a long time to wait for a person who suffers from migraines. At this point, she said you don't have migraines. Well, yes, at this point, I am not having migraines but I have also gained thirty pounds. Dr. Purath then started going through her notes and questioning everything I said like I would intentionally lie or be misleading. At this point, I told her about the nurse and how difficult she was. She then went on to say that I was difficult. I told her I had never talked to her rudely or out of line. She brought up the time I called the office when they blocked my script. I didn't say anything offensive. I asked them to fill the script while I waited for an appointment. I then said I would think that the office would call if they were intending to block my medication. This is when she said the "We don't babysit" line. At that point, I had enough. When the appointment was over, I told Dr. Purath that this would probably be my last appointment,. What she did next was extremely unprofessional,. Dr. Purath proceeded to say "great, thank you, and I am happy." Then, she stormed out of the room. Side note: When I went to the ER for my migraines, it was my allergist that called to see if I was ok.
