They confirmed that he was taking new patients. They said they'd email me the paperwork. I spelled my email address v-e-r-y c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y. No paperwork. Next day, I phoned his office again. I said I hadn't gotten an email, maybe because they hadn't spelled my email address correctly. I spelled it again v-e-r-y c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y. No paperwork. So I went to the office. I asked to fill out the paperwork then and there, and they gave it to me. When I turned it in, they said someone would review it and call me to make an appointment. Did they? You guessed it. No call. So why would a doctor claim to be taking new patients when he really isn't? Is it some quirky insurance thing? I just don't get it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ P.S. The day after I left this review, his office called me to schedule an appointment. Needless to say, I declined. So I guess he is taking new patients (at least when prompted by a Yelp review). But then why the runaround???

I've been a patient of Dr. Killian for about six years now and I feel very fortunate to have him as…read moremy primary care physician. He's highly competent, friendly, and an excellent communicator. As others here have noted, one never feels that he's in a rush to wrap up his time with you and move on. He takes time to engage in a conversation with you, to listen to your concerns and questions, and to address them thoroughly. For me, good communication is the most important quality I look for in a primary care doctor, aside from a basic confidence in his/her competence. Dr. Killian has helped me better understand my various medical issues and articulates his treatment goals and methodologies in an exceptionally thorough and understandable manner. I have a fantastic cardiologist who is also an excellent communicator, but I have often found myself with Dr. Killian explaining and helping me understand my heart issues more completely than I would listening to my cardiologist alone. He is thorough in integrating test results and other information from the cardiologist (and other specialists) into my patient records to maintain a complete understanding of all my ongoing medical issues. I could scarcely ask for more than that. His group practice, Red River Family Practice, is well-run, and I have encountered very few of the office/administrative frustrations I have at similar group practice offices. Reading some other less-than-positive reviews here, I'm reminded that no single physician is likely to be the right fit for every patient, each with their unique concerns and expectations. That said, Dr. Killian is a perfect fit for my priorities and expectations, and his competence and professionalism provide a rock-solid foundation to support those preferences. Three cheers and five stars for the good doctor, Michael Killian!

Dr. Nguyen checked it out, let me know that it was infected and gave me two types of antibiotics. In and out within 30 minutes. Gotta love that kind of efficiency.

I imagine elite doctoring is a fairly lucrative and fashionable development in the exciting world of health care and a harbinger of things to come but I won't be participating any time soon.

Too many doctors see themselves above human error. My primary doctor had retired and I had to…read moreschedule my annual wellness exam with a new doctor. Dr Harris was taking new patients so I scheduled with a clear understanding that I was coming for an annual wellness exam covered by Medicare. Unfortunately my appointment was during the flooding in the Austin area, with low water crossings closed prior to public road closings were updated. My travel to the clinic took 90 minutes that is typically 50 minutes. I checked in to the front desk 17 minutes late and Dr Harris made the decision to turn me away regardless of the 3 hour round trip I had just made, white knuckling it all the way. Since I didn't know her, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and rescheduled for the following day. Storms still prevailed but I took alternative routes and arrived 20 minutes before my appointment. Upon checkin I was told this annual physical would not be covered by Medicare. And was given a spread sheet that required fasting for the blood test, another request I made in advance to have before the exam, only to be told she doesn't do that with new patients, requiring a followup visit - I'm guessing for additional costs tacked on to the initial visit. She finally showed up to my room 30 minutes after the office visit was scheduled. This was our first introduction and I knew just by her appearance she was not in good physical health based on her obesity. I proceeded to share with her the appointment confusion over an annual wellness exam that clearly is covered by Medicare and the $215 costs now being required not to mention the return for labs. Then I showed her pictures of my previous days travel showing her the closed water crossings from the morning before, and the 17 minute delay. At that moment I was prepared to leave without an exam based on her 30 minute late entry to my 2nd appointment! I'm done with this "God" mentality in the medical industry and how rules apply to clients but not held by the same doctors that set these rules. And one more point...if you are in the medical industry, especially primary care, you should practice and look the part. One of the questions I was going to ask was her knowledge of nutrition, supplements and peptides along with HRT. I got my answer when the fat Dr Harris walked into my room. Do better.

She's one of more competent doctors at ARC Far West, but she didn't catch my whooping cough (her guess was asthma or allergies or something), and when she did correctly diagnose my kidney stone, she didn't tell me what to do about it, or recommend going to a urologist. I wound up switching doctors because I felt like I couldn't communicate with her and I wasn't ultra-confident in her abilities to diagnose or tell me the whole story. She did do better than most, though.

I feel like I'm in good hands! Also, points for Dr. Stround's very personable staff and pleasant office setting. Availability is the one area that isn't tops; I had to wait three weeks to see her.

Let me start by saying that I've known some excellent doctors, and have had a couple of…read moreearth-shatteringly bad experiences as well. Dr. Julie Reardon has surpassed my wildest expectations of what a family physician CAN--and is willing--to do. I think that's in part because she is a phenomenal physician and person, and I suppose the Harvard education and work with Dr. Andrew Weil doesn't hurt. I'll add that all of the folks in her office are equally as competent and caring. If you are contemplating a visit to Dr. Reardon, it's because you haven't been feeling as well as you should--probably for quite some time. Your insurance-covered doctor has run some general tests that haven't shown anything all that extraordinary; and while you may greatly respect your PCP as I do, you realize that time and budget constraints limit the ability to which they can explore your issues. You may have been told that it's your impending menopause, or your weight, or that you perhaps should consider antidepressants. This is the state of medicine in our current era of managed care, and it's nobody's fault. Sometimes it just IS. Know that, if you can afford her services, "Dr. Julie" will leave no stone unturned in helping you find that road to recovery. She's not one of those "vanity doctors" who will hand you creams, diets, and vitamins to make you ageless and extra hot...although feeling better usually makes you look better! She's a serious, science-based physician with an uncanny ability to relate the typically unrelated, and see the "big picture" of your health situation. In our initial visit, she caught on to trending issues I'd never thought of before, including a potential genetic makeup that leaves me prone to certain problems with mood and energy level that are exacerbated by stress...and I've had a year of that! She ran a gamut of tests after explaining the purpose of each one, and uncovered a problem so critical it was a wonder I even had the energy to get out of bed in the morning. I am no less impressed with our follow-up discussions. She has referred to another provider for an area outside of her realm, and also recommended simple vitamin and supplement changes that will do me a world of good. At the same time, she's not that earth-crunchy guru that's going to mandate that that you live on purified air and chants...hers are moderate lifestyle changes for real people living in our everyday world. Dr. Julie doesn't take insurance, but that allows her to spend true quality time with the patients who sign on with her. I will say that, for the fees involved, I feel like it's been a very good choice for my healthcare dollars. I am finally getting some solid answers as to why I've felt HORRIBLE over just this last year, and I finally feel confident knowing someone's got my back while I take steps to get better. I think there are a lot of docs out there who dream of having a practice like Dr. Julie's--and she has made that dream a reality. When I think about how quickly Dr. Julie started "cracking the case", and all the co-pays and labs past that never quite addressed my issue, I realize that I have now SAVED time and money in the long run. What's more...I could have gotten REALLY sick were it not for Dr. Julie and her findings. She very well might have saved my future from being...well, not so bright. Thinking about calling for an appointment with Dr. Julie Reardon? I say go for it...you will NOT regret it, and you have everything to gain.

Today, he spent well over an hour with me going through every aspect of my physical and explaining what each test revealed. Consider how that differentiates one doctor from another! He is a throwback to the time when doctors did things the old-fashioned way. The staff is great and personable, and everyone who works there have been there for years. The receptionist is a great ambassador for Dr. Rhodes, attentive and proactive with my appointments. The nurses are caring and good looking too! (Bonus!) I can't say enough for the entire team that supports Dr. Rhodes. That kind of stability offers great assurance for patients. Everyone is kind, friendly, and understanding. If you are looking for a doctor and consider these traits to be important, you will find every one of them here at his office. In a day and age where healthcare has become difficult at best, having Dr. Rhodes as my primary physician for the past decade has been the most consistent and steady throughout all these changes.

I've been feeling under the weather for about a week, so this morning I called to get an appointment with Dr. Rhodes. The receptionist asked, "Would you like to come in this morning or this afternoon?" On the one hand, I was excited because I would get to see the Dr. ASAP, on the other hand, I thought, 'Is this really a good sign that he has so many availabilities on any given day? How good can a doctor like that be?' Well, I was about to find out...not very good. I arrived early and waited about a half hour before the nurse called me back. Just as we were going back she told me, "It looks like you're going to have to wait out in the hall. We don't quite have a room ready for you yet.' What? Wait out in the hall? Then why did you call me back? After about 10 more minutes of waiting (I went back out to the waiting room), I finally got a room. The doctor was in and out in a flash. He basically did everything but push me out the door. He didn't take my height, weight or feel my very swollen lymph nodes. He just handed me a nasal prescription and told me to come back if it didn't help. And pay another office visit fee? I don't think so. I think that I'll leave the fast food medical mentality to someone else and go find a doctor that will actually LISTEN to me. UPDATE: I just found out that Dr. Rhodes charged me $98.00 for "counseling" and $173.00 for the office visit. I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR AGAIN! HE IS A SCAMMER!! I hope you never go either! If I could give him zero stars then I would.
