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.

Attentive
Dr Wurmbrand always takes the time to answer questions. She is thorough, professional and personable.

Best Doctor Ever
Dr Wurmbrand listens!!!! She has been my doctor most of my life. When I didn’t have her and had to go elsewhere I really realized the difference. As soon as Dr Wurmbrand came back to family practice I was at her door. I feel very lucky that I found her years ago. 10+ rating here. The Best.

Recommendation for Dr Wurmbrand
Dr Wurmbrand has been my PCP for over 20 years and I appreciate her willingness to let me participate in planning my care and treatment. I totally trust her professional expertise and up to date knowledge. She is an attentive listener and is very friendly. It’s obvious she likes being a physician and I’m happy she’s mine. I highly recommend her to become yours.

Having moved frequently in my life I have had many doctors, Dr Wurmbrand is by far the best, the most thorough and the only Dr. I have ever taken the time to review. When she sits down with you she asks great questions and actually listens, she follows up on previous issues and I never feel rushed. Again I have never really thought/talked about my primary care provider unless I had an issue but Dr. Wurmbrand is highly efficient, knowledgeable and I would highly recommend.

Dr. Wurmbrand, had been my physician for over 2 decades now. She has a wonderful bedside manner, explains what is happening, as well as allowing you to engage in options and decisions. She genuinely cares about her patients. Her office staff complements her kindness with more efficiency. You won't wait in the lobby for hours like at other doctors. They provide an excellent all around experience. I highly recommend Dr. Wurmbrand and the Polaris Office staff. It is a bit of a distance from my home, but she is worth it. They all are!!

Most doctor offices accept prescription calls from a patient's pharmacy; Dr. Wurmbrand's does not. What's more, her people get irate with you (seriously, you become their enemy) when your pharmacy tries to reach them. They hold this against you for a very long time. They have also accused me falsely regarding how I care for my mother (their patient), just because they can't communicate with me about appointments as well as they like. They have been very rude and intransigent toward me. If you are caring for an elderly parent, seek another doctor.

Dr Wurmbrand takes time to understand any health concerns and addresses them with you in understandable ways. When you need a test or specialist referral I’ve always be pleased with her recommendations. This was my first wellness visit under Medicare and I was very satisfied with Dr Wurmbrand and the nurse who assisted in this visit. Her office staff were friendly and efficient as always.

Dr. Wurmbrand delivered our daughter 34 years ago. Her kindness and compassion as she has guided my family through our everyday health and wellness in times of good health, and times of challenges. If you are fortunate to have Dr. Joan you truly do have wealth beyond silver and gold.
