Changed 2 doctors already, communication with staff and doctors/nurses is horrible. They don't seam to care , not even when you are in in excruciating pain. Dr. Ryan gave me antibiotics that tore up my intestines, I mean rally bad sharp pain and rectal bleeding,after talking to her nurse who relayed most wrong messages to her Dr. Ryan still kept me on same meds, that are confirmed later with another doctor, "well known to cause intestinal issues". I like Dr. Ryan as being nice person when being seen but when it comes to her "expertise", its questionable. Recently was seeing Dr, Mainhart, who refused

My daughter called on a Monday to schedule an appointment. After giving her symptoms - sharp pain in her right side - she was scheduled for 10 am the next day with Dr. Meinhardt. When she showed up to the appointment, in obvious pain, she was asked about her covid test results. She said she wasn't told she would need a test. They wouldn't treat her without it and if she got one right away, they could, maybe, see her later in the day. She ended up going to a different clinic, where they took her right in and diagnosed a CT for a possible appendicitis. She was rushed to the ER where

It says they open at 8 am but I cant get ahold with a clinician to explain why the doctor sent an order for a general health panel without specifying what lab work I need . After I got a hold to the clinic the nurse or the other staff didnt know what the code meant and which labs the doctor required. Now they have to call the doctor and hope the doctor remember me and which labs she requested ? Well I thought thats why they do chart notes . Very unprofessional !!!!!! Do not recommended this medical center .

It is a +5 for Dr. Ryan however in the far minus for Dr. Meinhardt which I had to see on a few occasions when Dr. Ryan wasn't available(but never again...). He is rude, he doesn't care and if you say more than 5 words to him you are just annoying him. It's beyond me how this man can help anyone at all. Waste of time and money

I have been going to this doctors office since I was 8 years old, I have never had a bad experience and always the best help. Dr. E dosent beat around the bush, he let's you know what's wrong and how to fix. Hands down best doctor I have seen since moving to alaska from cali. I always make sure if people need a new provider to include this office in my conversation.

Dr Kathryn Ryan has treated my husband for several different issues (over 3 years) and has addressed each of them very quickly and effectively. The last issue, we called early on Monday morning and after hearing his symptoms, their office had him get an ultrasound before seeing the dr the same afternoon. Later in the week, I called with some concerns and it took 2 days before receiving a call back from her nurse. I returned the call and had to insist that I get to speak to her because it had already been over 2 days from my initial call. When I finally got to speak to the nurse, she indicated the
