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.

As a cancer survivor I have met more doctors in my life than most people, and can spot the great…read moreones from the so, so ones pretty quickly. Dr. Olafson has a passion for healing and looks at the whole person to come up with the best strategy for improving health and managing disease. She uses a wonderful approach of combining subscription medicines with natural substances to achieve powerful results. If you feel like your current physician is not getting you to your maximum health, you would be well served to make an appointment.

Dr. Kakimoto has been my (Male-50's) PCP for over a decade and I am very happy with the care…read moreprovided by her. 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!!!

Dr. Kakimoto is one of the most dismissive and unprofessional physicians I've encountered. I'm in…read morehealthcare as well, and understand that physicians are busy and the healthcare system can be frustrating. However, she rushes through appointments, shows little interest in listening to patient concerns, and refuses to provide appropriate referrals. Her demeanor is cold, condescending, and makes it difficult to trust her judgment or feel cared for. As a primary care doctor, she completely fails to meet the basic expectations of attentiveness and support. Additionally, half the time I scheduled with her, I would only see a PA or someone else in the office. Several times, either she or whoever worked under her would provide straight-up incorrect information i.e. regarding breast cancer risk factors. I would strongly advise others to seek care elsewhere if you value being heard and treated with respect.

I noticed two of the one star reviews are on the same date. Interesting....... Perhaps one disgruntled patient enlisted the help of a friend who is on yelp to further assault the integrity of the Dr. I honestly have never met a Dr. that takes more time with his patients (which is why he sometimes runs late...ask the nurses), tries very hard to determine what is wrong with you and the correct course of treatment, and is very caring. Whoever said he didn't look them in the eye is clearly fibbing. He is so personable and takes a lot of time, looks you in the eye, and listens patiently while you describe your problem. Every person who I have referred to him has gotten back to me to say how happy they are with him. Believe me, I don't recommend easily. But with him I have never feared blow back for the recommendation. He is a very caring doctor. And polite. My guess is the people who reviewed badly probably had a bad experience with either the front desk or insurance issues. But claiming Dr Mercer rushes any patients or is rude or angry is preposterous. hes like a big teddy bear. Hes always smiling and always glad to see you.

She is respectful and listens intently and patiently and encourages her patient to be proactive in their healthcare. She has been my physician for many years and I feel so grateful that I found such an intelligent and dedicated physician! She has always supported me through different health journeys and always makes time for me when I'm ill. She is an incredibly compassionate physician!

Before finding Dr. D, I paid a huge sum to join a concierge practice, hoping I would get a…read morecomprehensive and thoughtful approach to my health issues, instead of the typical ten minute appointment where my concerns aren't addressed and the doctor jumps to the quickest possible conclusion. I did end up loving the concierge practice, but it closed soon after I joined. Imagine my surprise when I first met Dr. D, and we had an extremely long appointment where she listened to all of my thoughts and concerns, laughed at all of my jokes, then ordered all the same tests and floated all the same theories mentioned by the super expensive concierge doctor! And for a MUCH better price. I have never felt rushed or dismissed by her, and she has been VERY thorough in evaluating my health concern. She is smart, empathetic, and reasonable, and really tailors your health care experience to your own goals. I couldn't be more pleased! On a side note, she's not from Russia. If you hear from someone suggesting she is, you might ask yourself how credible they are otherwise. Just a thought.
