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.

If I could give her a lower rating I would.
She pushed me for an induction. After a very traumatic birth with everything I specifically said I was afraid would happen with an induction, including a NICU stay. At my 6 week follow up I was a mess. Could not stop crying. Bottke “he’s fine now right, you should be happy” Incredibly cold and then hush hush like gave me a list of therapist to call “if I really needed it, but you just need more sleep, that will make you feel better”. (I had a new born with colic) Yeah she was awful.

Rushy and turned off
Made me feel stupid for asking questions. Literally looked at me like I was dumb. Could tell she was getting warm and flushed when she kept fanning her hair back like she was annoyed at my questions. The MA and front desk were way nicer then her. I even spoke with her manager and expressed my concerns of feeling rushed and stupid after my visit with her. Would NOT recommend! She needs to work on customer service skills.

Pleasant person who answered every question I had and did her best to help rule out certain health issues while I go through a long term illness that has not been defined or treated over a year she was extremely helpful. I trust her.

Dr. Bottke saved my baby's life. We were hoping she'd deliver our baby because of how carefully she listened and answered our questions as patients. Then we she was our delivering doctor, she saved my son's life and made sure I was healthy and well cared for.

I was diagnosed with a chronic condition in 2020, and I came in to discuss my treatment options as my current treatment is not working for me. The provider did a pelvic exam, and recommended an ultrasound. The provider briefly went over my treatment options, but didn't seem knowledgeable enough about my condition to address my concerns (treatment effectiveness, side effects, etc.)
