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 who listens
Dr. Timmel exemplifies what modern healthcare should be. Unlike many rushed appointments he took the time to thoroughly listen and understand my complex medical history and symptoms. What impressed me was his ability to see connections between seemingly unrelated health issues and his willingness to investigate root causes rather than just treating symptoms. During our visit, he validated my concerns and made suggestions and appropriate referrals. He was knowledgeable about medication timing issues and showed genuine interest in recent improvements while supporting conservative measures in between investigating underlying causes before considering invasive procedures.

He doesn’t lessen
The front office is horrible to deal with. The doctor does not listen to what your concerns . Then he prescribes medicine that has nothing to do with what’s going on with you.Then acts like your the dumb person and he is the smart person. He is Not a good doctor.

Waited forever, nurse was incredibly rude, and was recommended the wrong medicine “by mistake” and when I had an adverse reaction and needed the proper medicine, was pretty much told “too bad”. I should’ve read all the bad reviews first.

The office staff is TERRIBLE. Do not waste your time going here, because they will run you around in circles, they’re rude, hang up on people, and lack the SLIGHTEST amount of EMPATHY. if you’re the type of person that cares about getting the proper care, do NOT WASTE your time. — just ask yourself why they’re one of the only doctor’s offices that have appointments available so quickly ? It’s because they can’t even follow through with getting test results back, sending simple documents or God forbid sending your prescriptions in properly. RUN while you still can !!

Scheduled my annual physical and was called 1 hour before appointment saying Dr Timmel was not coming in today and would reschedule. Next available appointment was a month later. That appointment had to be rescheduled due to office/Dr Timmel issues. Today I walk into my 9:45am appointment to find out again Dr Timmel called out Was not going in to office and the receptionist left me a message while I was in route. Complete waste of my time and schedule as I too have a business to run! This is interfering with my insurance requirements of submitting my annual physical Within required timeframes.

Dr Timmel has always put the patient first in any case i have been through with him, and I have been with him for about 8 years. He is a great doctor who listens first,examines, then presents a plan for your treatment. I have always been very happy with his treatment. His nurse staff is by far the most helpful I have found yet, especially getting back to you and keeping ontop of situations..kudos to the entire office.

Been a patient there for over a year. Only ever seen Dr. Timmel once. The one time I'm sick, flu and strep throat, they refuse to see me. Send me to urgent care where my copy is $40 more! What's the point of actually having a primary care physician if you can never actually see him!? I kept thinking it can't always be this bad, but it is. I'm definitely finding a new doctor, preferably one who cares about their patients.
