Jeremy Ficken, NPC

Having seem a number of hospitals, doctors, Nurse Practioners and Nurses over the course of 14 months, I was very impressed with Jeremy's knowledge about my medical issue and his explanation of his diagnosis and my follow-up. I was looking for a PCP in Goodyear and I am thankful I have found such an impressive one. I will refer all my neighbors and pickleball friends to him.

I requested extensive blood work as I had been struggling with weight gain for years and hypothyroidism. He denied me bloodwork and said verbatim “hormones don’t cause weight gain in the FEMALE body.” When I told him my previous endocrinologist said otherwise he rolled his eyes and proceeded to give me a basic health lesson and told me I needed to burn more calories than I eat - when I gave him my diet (low carb/high protein) and workout regimen (I did CrossFit and HIT) he insinuated that I was lying about my diet. He tried to push weight loss drugs on me which I had told him that I did not want to take. He then advised bariatric surgery was my ONLY option. I asked what happens if I get surgery and my thyroid just causes more weight gain. He said I just need to follow the diet and I’d be fine. Went to a new Endo, turns out I also have insulin resistance, high DHEA, and high prolactin levels. All of which was affecting my weight. I’ve lost 45 lbs w/ the new doc. Never going back to him.

Jeremy is so far the best Dr. in the valley that I have come across. He is very attentive and will take the time to listen and not just push you out. Every time I see him he is up to date and actually interested in how you are doing. There are not a lot of Drs that have a good bedside manner and he is one of the best Julie & Austin

I trust Jeremy with my health care. He provides excellent advice.

JEREMY IS VERY PERSONABLE.I HAVE HAD DIABETES SENSE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD,AND I WILL TURN 70 THIS YEAR. SENSE I STARTED SEE JEREMY I NOW HAVE MY AIC AS LOW AS 6.8. I LIKE HIM A LOT.
