Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Laughing during horrible IUD insertion
Dr. Jokela placed my IUD a few years ago. I was given no medication and it took her 6 tries to insert the device. She attempted to jam it in each time and laughed about how difficult it was while I was clearly in severe pain. I have had many complications since and I think it may have been due to this insertion process. Laughing was a cruel and insensitive thing to do. My first IUD insertion at a different institution years ago did not cause such a issue- so I do not think this was a result of unique cervix positioning. Do not have a medical procedure like this done by this physician. She is a great doctor in all other aspects- but I would warn women against having any procedure like this done by her.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Jokela?
I have had several appointments with Dr. Jokela and felt respected, listened to, and safe. She gave me a lot of time to talk, and I felt that she actually cared, which I had not found with my last PCP. She is kind, intelligent, and helpful. She gave me good health advice and made me feel comfortable.
