If this review system would allow negative stars they earned them! I had abdominal pain in my side and requested an appointment. I called on a tuesday and the soonest they would see me was Friday. If this were an appendicitis I would be dead by Friday. Luckily I found a medical practice that saw me that day. Later I discovered I had covid and contacted the office for an appointment. I didn't have trouble breathing and had a slight fever. They refused to see me and said to go to the ER. They wouldn't even come to my car as other offices allow. Seriously? I contacted the other medical office and

PSo Family Health Center since it lived near the High School in 1994. It's been a hot minute. I'm writing as while I'm not disparaging the negative reviews here in the slightest, but because they could not be more polar opposite to my experience with Dr. Meulenberg (and Family Health Center) for all this time. He has seen me through minor blips, pregnancy at 42, a child with sudden blindness and tumor, then aneurisms and a husband (now divorced) experiencing a stroke after recovery from severe head trauma.
Now, I realize these kinds of instances are hardly the norm, and perhaps

I am sure their physicians are great. I decided to cancel my visit after they requested my health information in a way that violated HIPPA rules and would have put my personal information, including my social security number at risk. This gives me serious doubts about the integrity and security of their patient data they are entrusted and required to keep secure.
