I've been seeing Doctor Olafson for over a year now and my first experience with her was great. I…read morefelt heard and understood for the first time in years. Within the last few months, I feel like I've seen a different side of her and her office. And it's not positive. I'm a self-pay patient and have been since the beginning of my time with Doctor Olafson. I've stated it in every visit I've had with her. Recently, she keeps telling me that my prescription isn't "covered" and neglected to do her research when ordering blood tests, making sure I could afford them. Although I made a following appointment with her last year for this current year, her office asked me whether or not I had made an annual appointment for a follow up and I had to tell them, that yes, I did. So, somewhere, someone isn't doing their job and I am falling through the cracks. I no longer feel heard or that I matter to Doctor Olafson and her staff. I will be looking elsewhere for care.

I was extremely fortunate to find Dr. Sexton. After my very first visit, during which he spent a considerable amount of time with me and truly listened, I left his office feeling incredibly optimistic.

I'm so grateful to have found a physician who is not only knowledgeable and thorough, but who also takes the time to make his patients feel heard and genuinely cared for.

Who gave this place two stars?!? Because whoever that person is clearly has the misfortune of being…read morecompletely clueless when it comes to physicians who are competent, compassionate, educated, and parent-oriented. Dr. Clotfelter has literally changed my life, and is one of the main reasons I trust Doctors of Osteopathy infinitely more than an average PA or MD. Two of my main providers are D.O.s, and they've both effectively changed and saved my life in the way they treat the whole human being by symptoms, not just through a series of meds listed under the ICD code for your medical issue. I was sad for me (because I'm a selfish thing!) but happy for Dr. C when she took her leave to have her baby, because if her parenting is anything close to her practice of medicine, then I would like her to adopt me! In all seriousness, Dr. C may sometimes take a bit to see patients, but if that patient is me, I'm always grateful she goes above and beyond to deliver comprehensive appointments, actually tied the time to listen to me, as a human being, seeks whole-person treatment (holistic treatment is kind of what DOs are known best for, and would you rather have part of you treated, or your entire body considered when being evaluated?). It's been those times when I've needed to cry in frustration as we seek answers for my complicated medical case together that I've been most grateful to have her in my life, because I'm not sure if I will ever have (I never have before) a doctor like Christine Clotfelter, D.O. Not only is she compassionate and easy to talk to, non-judgmental and understands that sometimes human beings don't fit into the square box of standardized medicine protocols, her entire staff are just as professional, caring, patient -oriented, and respectful of every one of their patients. I've got more issues than People Magazine, and I have had nothing but the utmost professionalism, kindness, and actually beneficial treatment from Dr. Clotfelter and her entire staff. From check in to checkup yo check out, you won't find another practice in this entire county more dedicated to their patients than this medical group. I am lucky I get to be a patient here, and Dr. Clotfelter, her office and medical staff, and referrals department are all the best of the absolute best in medical integrity and dignity afforded to their patients. Anyone who thinks differently can come live in the body i had before I started seeing Dr. C. You wouldn't last a week...and I am utterly grateful for her thoughtful and caring approach to medicine.

Dr. Kakimoto is thorough, always takes her time to explain things and patiently answers any questions I have. I never felt rushed, quite the opposite. It is indeed challenging to schedule an appointment within a reasonably short amount of time with any of the MDs, I attribute that to the general shortage in MDs and nothing specific to Dr. Kakimoto. She was always there for me when I specifically asked to be seen by her for more critical (in my opinion) issues. Thank you Dr. Kakimoto!!!

First time meeting her after complaining of left side leg pain and debilitation, she had me go…read morehome, told me I probably had Covid and that I looked seriously Ill and to go home and rest. Really? What doctor tells this to a patient? Blood work ordered but no focus on my leg pain. No X-ray or MRI offered. She said if I still felt sick to go to ER? Second time meeting with her. She was once again dismissive, somewhat rude, showing no empathy or compassion. I felt like I was taking up her time in her busy day. She never was able to help me (with pain in left leg, hip area). She took all I said personally and defensive. Aren't doctors supposed to be trained or educated to deal with patients under pain? Again, No regard to pain I was having. No X-ray or MRI was offered. I had to ask for a physical therapy referral via online. I felt like I was diagnosing myself. She told me she didn't need new patients if I left and that she was one of the partners. Wow. Doctors need CARE model training or a refresher course if they want to keep their patients. She had the worst medical professional manners. Her words were just plain mean. No attempt on her part to create a relationship with a new patient. Very disappointing.

Wanted to check with her to make sure I went to the right location and basically just got a ton of sass and then she hung up on me ‍

I've been going to Dr. Brunst for over ten years and I've always found him an excellent doctor and…read morepleasant man. He's straightforward and to the point, which I appreciate. Every ailment or injury I've gone in for has been correctly diagnosed and quickly treated--after a decade, he's still batting 1000. I have had no trouble with prescriptions, either new ones or getting old ones refilled. He is also happy to make referrals if I request them. While he is a lovely person and quite jocular, however, he does not coddle his patients. If you are oversensitive or if you want a doctor who will be saccharine and hold your hand, he's probably not your man. The staff issues others have written about here are legitimate. It seems, however, some of the worst members of the front office have gone. I must admit in the past they've left an extremely bad impression, so much so that I can't in good conscience give Dr. Brunst's practice five stars. But I prefer to focus on the the professionalism and skill that he, his associate and new nurse all possess.

I called this office seeking to have an initial consult after losing my beloved primary care doctor…read moreover 20 years so I could interview Dr. Dave to see if he would be a good match for me. After being introduced to the concept of "concierge medicine", I was blown away by the price tag of over $500-1000/month that was not managed through insurance. If you're going to ask for that much money all being out of pocket, you need to at least have a consult visit to discuss exactly what's involved, meet the doctor, and visit the office to allow me to weigh whether that's worth it and it's a match. Going off the little information that was provided on the phone and the immediate sticker shock that you would pay with the first visit, I decided this was not for me.
