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 Bedside Manner
I’ve recently moved back into town and wanted to set up appointments with someone in all my needed specialities. I ended up with Dr. Rolfsen by chance. He had great bedside manner and referred me to an even more specialized doctor per my chronic illnesses. Highly recommend!

Outstanding Physician!
Dr. Rolfson entered the “patient room” exuding professionalism and warmth. We chatted for a little while and he then began to read my PCPs notes, ask questions, and make recommendations. He was highly knowledgeable, caring, respectful, a good listener, very proactive, and had a great “bedside manner”. I am very pleased and confident in Dr. Rolfson as my physician.

Excellent visit
Telehealth
Very professional , great bed side manor. Listened attentively, not rushing to get you out the door. I thought I was due for a procedure, and said he would do it if I felt I needed it done, but he wanted to review my previous medical history first ( my previous doctor retired). I appreciated his attention to detail, asking the right questions before automatically performing the procedure. Hes very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend himThank you Dr Rolfsen and your friendly professional staff ! GREAT Experience !

Doesn't explain himself sufficiently
This was my first visit with Dr. Rolfsen. He did not have access to my 3 years of records and test results because he hadn't had time to request them from the other gastro I went to. That didn't stop him from telling me that other gastroenterologists were wrong about my diagnosis and that he had a treatment plan for me. Dr. Rolfsen is so prejudiced against SIBO diagnoses that he refused to discuss it with me and automatically said I don't have it because I'm too young, I haven't had any surgeries, and 'my symptoms don't match' (even though I have every single symptom listed). I asked him what about the upcoming research suggesting other ways of contracting SIBO, and he just smiled and shook his head at me and kept typing. I asked why he didn't think it was true, and he said he just thinks it's too new and he's going to stick to what he knows.Apparently what Dr. Rolfsen 'knows' is Ibsr**a a brand new, brand name medication approved by the FDA two years ago ONLY for IBS-C.
