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.

Lack of concern from staff
Pretty unsatisfied. Dr. Kiefer wouldn't even consider tweaking my mediciation despite blood work showing that it needed it. Additionally, I've been trying to get a refill of a prescription for the past week to no avail. I've been calling everyday and requesting it, the office keeps saying they'll pass it to the doctor and then nothing happens with my pharmacy (meanwhile my pain is steadily increasing without meds). The lack of concern they exhibit is surprising for a long term patient, and I will no longer be a patient.Edit: finally reached someone by selecting 'make an appointment' on the phone menus. no concern from the staff about me being off my medication for over a week, and no one has even tried to call me back after my many messages. I've never experienced such lack of care, concern or professionalism. Find someone more invested in your health, Dr Kiefer and his staff aren't it.

Dr Kiefer can be a little abrupt, but he is a very kind man and a very good doctor. He helped me fight with my insurance for months to get my son the medication he needed.
