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.

Exceptional Doctor
Dr. Standke will spend a good amount of time with you to cover any of your ailments or concerns about your health. He shares what he learns in recent studies so I know that he keeps up to date of many diseases and studies. He is well informed. He is friendly, personable, non-judgemental and thorough. I have been a ppatient off and on for the past 10 years and highly recommend him. He will also call you personally to share results of blood tests and make recommendations. He encourages me to reach out to him if I have further questions. I appreciate his time and participation in my care.

I don’t recommend this doctor. Inaccurate diagnosis. Rushes you so you would just leave. Stay away from him.

Been going to Dr. Standke for just over 20 years and for the first 10, he was fantastic. I am a low-maintenance patient and generally see him 1x/year only for the annual exam. He RUSHES in, talks rapidly, makes what feels like contrived cheerful comments with a smile that comes across as insincere, such as, "Hello! What *exciting* things do you have to ask me, or, problems do you have to share!":D It's the tone and expression... makes you feel like he's cringing to hear your reply. Then the exam, checks your pulse,"Your heart is beating!" Looks at the skin on your arms and exclaims,"Your circulation looks great!"Point is, I see him 1x a year all for all of what, 10-15 mins and I feel like I am in a processing plant.He was such a great doctor but now, it feels like he's jaded, tired of caring for patients and bidding time in his practice. Gone are the days when you felt he truly cared about your health. I am sad to realize I am done w/ him after today. Don't get me started on L Rhode :(

Dr. Standke is the best doctor I've ever had. He is patient, knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions. He and his staff are very punctual. I'm very fortunate to have him as my personal physician.

I like Dr. Standke. He is always in a good mood and very thorough when it comes to your examination. He also always gives enough time to ask about about issues or problems. I recommend him highly

He wouldn’t give me a referral to a specialist because over the phone he was “able” to determine that my breathing problem should be taken care of by using allergy pills for the rest of my life, even though I explained that a specialist saw me many years ago and by physically examining me nose (not just over the phone) found one of my nostrils to be almost completely obstructed.

Dr. Standke is a very caring individual. Very thorough. I have always had to call Drs Offices to seek results. Not here, Dr Office contacts me! Dr. Standke is also easily obtainable. Appointments on time. Highly recommend.

Dr. Standee was very rude and arrogant to me. As he looked at the prescriptions I was already taking he rudely told me that all of them were wrong and basically the previous doctors I've seen in specialties didn't know what they were doing. I had brought medical records with me and an MRI scan and he called me back the next day when he finally got around to reading my reports and told me that I was too fat I need to exercise and there was nothing wrong with me and I need to see a psychiatrist.

Dr. Standke is one of the best physicians I have ever had. He is incredibly knowledgeable about everything! He is very busy all the time, but makes sure he takes the time to listen, make notations, diagnose, and prescribe. I'm with him for the long haul.

Him and Lisa Rhode should have their licenses revoked! After my mother went for a year asking for an endoscopy complaining something was wrong, and landing in the ER diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer, she switches to Standke who tells her shes getting worse (Without looking at her latest tests which were better than her oncologist had seen ever or expected) He also says he is only there for when shes ready to go into hospice. You can't afford to have him as your doctor, he'll kill you.

Not good,I requested a referral for a ultrasound to have my ovaries checked. My grandmother died of ovarian cancer so I would have them checked annually. Dr. Standke refused to give me a referral, said they stopped doing preventative ultrasound because was proven to be a waste of time. I obtained another doctor,right away I was given ultrasound and found I had ovarian cancer. Blessed that it was caught early, had surgery,cancer was removed along with ovaries years later no thanks to Dr.Standke
