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.

High way or the high way. Seem someone with an open mind. That isn’t him.

Great Doctor, Staff & Environment
Dr. Podett is patient and listens well; I never feel like a visit is being rushed. I especially like his relaxed and well-informed nature, with all his years of experience, I feel safe and comfortable in his care and highly recommend him.

Lacking Bedside manner
The few times I went he was straight to the point without asking how you are. He is abrupt and rude. Lacking bedside manner and relationship skills. He blamed another condition on the current situation.

This doctor had an attitude with me from the moment he walked through the door. I have had 2 appointments with this doctor so far and both times he was being very rude to me and then while I am literally walking on egg shells, biting my tongue ( I mean he doesn't really want to hear from me right? he knows everything and my talking would just be a hindrance from what I can tell.) he has to lay into me with a lecture on how I WAS BEING RUDE. What a joke. This doctor is a mechanic. He clearly is in it for the money. My first visit I left there thinking I was dyeing from 5 different causes. The labs com back and the doctor walks in the room gloating about the 1 test he may have gotten right. (That is still unconfirmed) After getting into it with him the 2nd time he decided to lecture I flat out said. "You have had a problem with me since you first laid eyes on me" he didn't deny it. I would not suggest this guy to anyone. Especially if you have mental health problems already.

Thank goodness we found a medical practice that we can trust with our health care. The physicians at Mountain View Family Practice are knowledgeable, diligent, and caring. Their caring is evident by treating us with respect, dignity, and integrity. It is reassuring that diagnosis is made with recent research, experience, and with consideration for our opinion.

Dr Podett took me on an a patient when no one else would. Getting hurt at work is a dirty word at most offices even with great insurance. I brought a hurricane with me related to my medical history. But I have gotten better because of him. I don't always agree but we always talk about it!

Dr. Podett tried to bully me into costly and unnecessary tests before he would prescribe a maintenance drug my retired doctor had been giving me for years. I left without a doctor or prescription, but with a bill for $168.90!

Dr Podett is incredibly smart and has always taken his time understanding my needs and getting me the proper treatment. At age 13- I had seen 3 drs before Paul about migraines and sight issues- all of which they said I had bad posture/it'll go away attitude. When I came to Dr Podett he immediately got me in for a catscan and I had a brain tumor! Not only did he have to smarts to properly diagnose me he cared enough to come and meet with my family during my scan! Great DR- highly recommend Paul!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Podett?
Dr. Podett has been my primary-care physician for at least ten years. He has proved himself to be experienced, concerned, and thorough. Several times, Dr. Podett has changed a medication directed by another physician due to his concern that there could be an interaction with something else that I was taking. His staff can usually squeeze me in for an urgent appointment on the same or following day. I never feel that he has to hurry off to his next patient; there is plenty of time for me.

Dr. Podett is awesome. I traveled from the east coast. The area where I'm from, is considered top health care. Well, he showed me that the health care there hadn't the slightest clue. He welcome me and my family with our health 1st concern. If you want someone that will give it to you like it is for your better well being, instead of sugar coating things and your health getting worse, he is the one. His number one priority is the patient's health. He has a tough exterior but heart of a kitten.
