I was recommended by several co-workers who couldn't say enough good things about her practice. Unlike other doctors I have been to, I have never felt rushed or as though my concerns were not attentively acknowledged. I recently had a severe nerve damage issue and a heart issue that required repeated visits and neurologist/cardiologist referrals and Dr. Paul, NP Loudermilk, and their wonderful staff went out of their way to work with me, both making sure I got the care I needed as quickly as possible and that my referrals and procedures were covered by my insurance. The staff does document everything about your visit on a portal you can access to get all your medical information, while you are in the room. Personally, I don't take that as not listening...I see it as something beneficial to me later. It is usually very difficult to start as a new patient there...for good reason. Both of these ladies really know their stuff! They have at lot long term customers. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Larry Wainschel and his office…read more I first saw Dr. Wainschel in the ER in November 2025 regarding a tumor on my spine. He ultimately determined that the surgery was beyond his expertise, and I had to undergo the operation at California Pacific Medical Center instead. Because his office is closer to where I live, I decided to continue follow-up care with him afterward. During my very first office appointment, Dr. Wainschel also asked me several personal questions that made me uncomfortable and felt unrelated to my medical care. That immediately gave me concerns about professionalism and patient comfort. During later appointments, I repeatedly explained that I had lost sensation in my feet due to nerve damage. I made it very clear that I was concerned about the possibility of permanent nerve damage if the issue was not properly evaluated and treated. Despite these concerns, I was scheduled for a follow-up three months later and only given an MRI for my upper back. My primary care doctor later ordered an MRI of my lower back, which showed: "L4-L5 by 5.0 mm. Suspicion for a 5.6 mm perineural cyst." This cyst can potentially affect nerves in the lower body and may contribute to worsening neurological symptoms. Treatments such as steroid injections can sometimes help, yet I struggled to get any urgency or follow-up from Dr. Wainschel's office. I contacted the office multiple times asking whether I needed an EMG test to determine if the cyst was contributing to my nerve damage. I was not asking for anything extreme -- I simply wanted a clear yes or no answer and proper evaluation. My concerns were not treated as a priority, and I could not get a direct response from the office manager, Theresa. Meanwhile, I continue to have significant numbness and loss of sensation in my feet while waiting weeks for another appointment. My biggest issues were the lack of communication, lack of urgency, feeling dismissed while dealing with potentially permanent neurological symptoms, and being made uncomfortable during my care.

The doctors are highly reputable in the area, I believe primarily from a lack of options and also a lack of patient medical knowledge. When we called to make our appointment the office staff took out insurance and told us we were covered in network. We ended up changing to a different office because we felt little confidence in the ability of the doctors at this office. 7 months later fast forward I received a collection call for 1k+. They sent us to collection and claimed that we were not covered under their network. We have blue cross blue shield. It negative affected our credit and may affect our ability to buy a home.
