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.

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Ofstedal is my primary care physician and he is outstanding. Very intelligent, caring and highly skilled at diagnosing what might be wrong. I never feel rushed during my appointments, yet he is very efficient at getting to and covering all of my issues. Highly recommended.

been seeing him the last few years, he is a great doctor, with a genuine sense of warmth and compassion. He follows up on problems and concerns and makes me feel like a person and not just another number through the gate.

Dr Ofstedal has been my primary care physician for more than twenty years. He has, on more than one occasion literally saved my life. I recommend this physician most highly.

Dr. Ofstedal was my doctor for 17 years. He made good recommendations when something was beyond his breadth of knowledge, which was not unusual. I always felt he only saw my file 2 mins before he walked in. He did refer me to a steroid farm, under the guise of a pain clinic but the straw was his nurse Soon Yi. Rude, inattentive, she messed up several appointments and numerous RXs. I reported this behavior many times and nothing was done. I’ve found a much better physician for my issues.
