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.

I highly recommend Dr Paulsen
Staff is awesome. Dr always listens and NEVER rushes you. Best diagnostician ever! Complete trust in him.

LITERALLY fell asleep as I’m trying to talk to him
Honestly felt like he was less than thrilled in my as a new patient, or that he really couldn’t care less at all. Fell asleep while “listening “ to what issues brought me in to see him .

Dr Paulsen is very thorough and answers all questions to my satisfaction. His easy demeanor puts you to ease particularly in difficult situations. He is very responsive to emailed questions also.

He showed very little concern for my symptoms.
Not at all prepared as to the reason for my visit although I’d sent a message describing an ongoing & very painful issue. Did not seat me on exam table to look in my throat. Blew off a serious spike in blood sugar level from previous labs. Generally minimized my symptoms. I expect a doctor who is actually engaged & listening to my concerns.

Dr Paulsen's Bedside Manner
Dr Paulsen was accepting NEW PATIENTS in 2021 & I saw him for a Well Woman Physical Exam, as my previous Primary Care doctor had retired. Not only was Dr Paulsen VERY professional, he had an ABSOLUTELY fabulous "Bedside Manner; [ie, taking the TIME to THOROUGHLY gather info regarding my Past Medical History & to make sure to write prescriptions for my recurring medications! Dr Paulsen is VERY friendly, pleasant, Caring & ABOVE all else, he LISTENS!
