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.

He’s been my doctor for years. He has a heart of gold and is always cheerful. I spent over 30 years in veterinary medicine and I can tell you that he is an excellent diagnostician. He has helped me out so many times-from helping me get a new orthopedic when the one I had did two botched surgeries, helping me deal with government services and working with me when I couldn’t afford him. He treats me like an equal and always listens carefully to what I tell him. He also has an excellent CRNP who handles my routine needs. His office staff is cheerful and helpful. I spent four months in the hospital before my leg was amputated and never failed to do rounds on me himself, so I always felt like I was connected to him and that he would be available when I needed to see him. All in all he is everything you could possibly want in a doctor and I only wish that everyone could have a healthcare provider such as he.

Dr. Hemberg is always patient, takes the time to listen, doesn't rush, and works hard to figure out my medical situation. If he doesn't know, he has no hesitation about sending me to someone who he thinks will. It is hard to get appointments, especially quickly, but even that he has solved by adding an acute care clinic to his. Not many doctors take the time to get to know you and always remember. He's a great doctor.

Dr. Hemberg will not commit time and patience to the Elderly. After serving a family member over 6 years+ her final care by him was Poor. Very disappointed in a doctor that at one point in his career was "sharp".
