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.

Great First Visit!
I had a great experience visiting today. Everybody I encountered was helpful and friendly, and the office was well run and efficient. I never had to wait too long. My questions were answered, and Doctor Bekemeier’s friendly personality put me at ease. I am so glad I found this office and Dr. Bekemeier!

Visit was great. He was attentive listened, explained things well, friendly. Comment on negative reviews: doctors are like you and me. There may be something going on in their lives that we are not aware of. Everyone has an off day, especially when one is sick. Take care and have a pleasant day.

The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Bekemeier was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I left the clinic feeling confident in the care I received.

My first visit with Dr. Bekemeier and I felt like I had found the Dr. that would truly help me get back to being healthy without. He game me a game plan and took the time to listen to me. I would definitely recommend him. He came across as an honest Dr. and told me what he thought would be best for my overall health.

Bad experience
I went to see this dr because my pcp was out of the office and I needed to see someone asap to adjust diabetic medication, worst mistake of my life , he is condescending,rude. Told me I wasn't doing enough by excersicing and eating well that it was time to starve myself since I need to get my sugar down. Made me feel horrible ,when you go to the doctor he's supposed to make you feel better not worse . Never going back to that guy .

My first visit with Dr. Bekemeier went really well
I had a follow up question and he was proactive on answering the question even though I had left the room already and was going to ask the nurse instead.

Rushed and uncertain of next steps
Dr. Bekemeier needs to get some training or quit since he obviously does not enjoy his job. He rushed my mother, seemed annoyed at our questions, and was condescending.

Awful doctor; leaves the room as you are speaking to him. Never really examines you. Does not care; makes that obvious. He should seek a profession where he does not deal with people.
