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.

The doctor was amazing! I really felt like he was listening and trying to fully understand my medical history.

Straightforward and Competent
Dr. Emenecker has a very direct, no-nonsense approach. I want a doctor who is knowledgeable, listens carefully, discusses treatment options, communicates those options well, and doesn't try to force an option on the patient. I highly recommend this doctor and Nurse Chloe.

Don't Recommend
I would highly recommend someone else if you seek treatment or medication with mental health or life long conditions. When I came to him for medication after seeing a physiatrist, his first response seemed to be a psychiatric hold. That seems extreme since I was looking for help. Then he never felt comfortable changing doses. I, like many others, have IBS, and he never really prescribed me medication. He kept saying to change my diet, but my new doctor prescribed a med that immediately helped. I left feeling unheard and unhelped. If you just need antibiotics or check ups, he is probably great. If it is anything else, I would not recommend him.
