Dr. Pampe is the best. He listens, helps, and puts effort into the Dr/patient relationship. I never feel like I'm being herded through his office. I trust and appreciate Dr. Pampe. read more

Dr. Pampe has been my GP for over 12 years; I recommend him constantly. His staff is super courteous, caring, and Megan (office admin) is seriously on top of things. I've had great, mediocre, and at times no health insurance. My visits are always afforable. read more

My husband and I have been seeing David Pampe for 35 plus years! We appreciate his attentiveness, knowledge and willingness to provide good care and friendly advice. We respected him to the point that we decided to have him as the primary care for our two daughters after they were born. At 25 and 26, he is still their primary care doctor. In addition, his nurse Claudia is prompt in responding, knowledgeable and caring. Megan, who runs the office is equally delightful. In all, Dr. Pampe has been a household name in our family over the years and we feel secure having David as our primary health care provider. Donna Linn read more

I see there are a bunch of reviews from the 2013 era when Dr. Pampe switched over to the health group membership requirement. My husband and I had both been long-time patients, but didn't feel that our health warranted the extra fees at that time. Since then, the lead times to see other physicians and specialists have become unacceptable. Every appointment we needed to make was 2-3 months out with other providers, including rescheduling existing appointments! We finally decided that our health was worth the annual membership required for Dr. Pampe's practice. I cannot say enough GREAT things about having the quality, convenience and peace of mind we now have about our personal healthcare. I highly recommend Dr. Pampe's practice to busy professionals and executives... this is the best investment you can make in yourself and your family. read more

If you could give negative 5 stars, that's what I would give. Dr. Pampe AND his staff are the absolute worst. The first time I went to visit, it was the day after the superbowl and he was 1.5 hours late. He showed up and looked like he had been drinking more than his fair share of alcohol because his face was all blotchy and red. And no, this wasn't some kind of condition or disease because unfortunately, I went back to see him several times after that and his skin condition was normal. He then joins some "health" brigade and sends my boyfriend and I informational packets in the mail to join whatever he's promoting at a low, low cost of $800. Are you serious? So just now, I tried to make an appointment to come in because I either have strep or bronchitis and he doesn't have any appointments until Tuesday. Are you kidding me? I asked if there was anyone else I could see and they told me no. How convenient because I'm pretty sure my boyfriend has gone in to see someone else SEVERAL times, so this was an out and out lie. You're better off self-diagnosing on WebMD. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. This Dr. is LAZY, arrogant, and very disrespectful. I had a couple of visits with him over the last year and received better care from Urgent Care Clinics than here. He doesn't get out of his chair and if anything takes more than a flick of his pen then he will refer you to a Specialist. I was Hospitalized for about 2 weeks and all of my health reports were going to his Office. Needless to say, he never showed up one time to the Hospital to check on me. He also showed zero interest in any sort of after care. Fortunately, I had an awesome Hospital Doctor who I have since switched my Primary Care over to. I also saw him yelling at his Staff, which I thought was extremely Unprofessional. I really don't know how the people in that Office put up with this Clown. The pictures in his hallway of a bunch of Celebrity pictures with signatures were really cheesy and did not impress me one bit. This Guy needs to retire. I am assuming he must have been a decent Doctor maybe 10-20 years ago, but I think the money went to his head. read more

Ok, so in all fairness the place I'm comparing this to is ARC. Plus one star for being able to get me in same day. Plus one star for phone etiquette. Plus two stars for the Nurse Practitioner with the tattoo on his forearm. You can't fake genuinely caring about patients the way he does. Plus one star for a quick diagnoses (influenza - boo). Minus one star for general etiquette. The receptionist and office clerk were gossiping about a unsatisfied patient who was a huge pain probably because he was a lawyer. I don't like lawyers either, but they shouldn't be complaining about patients that way while there are other patients waiting in the lobby that can hear them. Also, the doctor that did see me conducted half of the patient interview with the door open. I thought that was strange. I'll go back. They're close to my house and I found them to be much more welcoming than ARC. read more

I have known Dr. Pampe for 25 years since I was 3 years old when we moved to Austin, remember when my sister and I were little he would always say we had CareBears in our ears :) Through the years he has had N.P.'s and P.A.'s working at his practice so you can usually get an appointment on the same day you are trying to come in, and Tues/Thursday's they are opened late and I think Saturday's they may be open in the mornings. I have never had any issues with the front office or his staff being unprofessional or rude- always very professional. And I remember one time I was having major stomach issues where they later on thought I had a stomach ulcer, but I remember Dr. Pampe personally called me the next day to check on me, he is an amazing MD. read more

I've read the negative reviews and couldn't disagree more. Dr. Pampe has always been very professional with his approach to me and my daughters. He takes the time to listen to my symptoms and asks questions to make sure that I'm getting the best possible care from him. I had to go to another physician when he was on vacation and ended up having to see him to get an accurate diagnosis after he returned. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Pampe for the past 18 months. He spends lots of time with me and totally listens to what's going on with me. I am almost 70 years old and feel that I am getting the best care that I've gotten in a long long time. read more

Dr. Pampe has been my doctor since 1985. He has always provided me with the best medical advice in a timely manner. I really on Dr. Pampe to assist me with all of my medical referrals and advice. The wellness check done once a year is a valuable set of tests that I really on to check year over year results. He owns his own office so you know he is not going anywhere or touting some corporate dogma. read more

Dr. Pampe has been my GP for what must be 30 years now. He listens, is not judgmental and shows genuine concern. Always ready to change a medication until the right one is identified. My annual medical with Claudia is always thorough and Megan is always as helpful as she can be. This team has seen me through some pretty rough times and the referrals I have received have always been the right fit. read more

Dr Pampe is superior to all other doctors that I have encountered. I've seen some negative reviews of him, dating back to 2013-1015. At that time he had endured crippling back pain and resultant back surgery and still, with all of that, continued to competently treat and evaluate with care and consideration. I'm an RN with 38 years experience in a variety of clinical settings. The only reason I haven't been to see him in awhile is a financial limitation on my part as there is a membership fee which, for various reasons, including a kid in college, I could not pay. I am now able to do so. He does offer payment plans to make it affordable.That being said it is well worth the additional fee. I'm back to Dr Pampe and couldn't be happier!! Love Dr Pampe. He goes above and beyond for his patients. Integrity is his mantra. read more

Dr Pampe and his staff have taken care of my whole family for 30+ years. During the last 5 years, we have faced some challenging medical issues and he has taken excellent care of us. Especially knowledgeable and up-to-date on changes and advances in medical care. He and his staff now operate as one efficient, professional, caring team. read more

*** WOMEN BEWARE *** *** WOMEN BEWARE *** *** WOMEN BEWARE *** I initially found Eugene Pampe from Yelp (long time lurker-first time poster) back in December of last year. My family and I recently had moved up from San Antonio and in to the SW side of town. Seeing that I am not a Hypochondriac nor is anyone else in my family, I just needed someone close and with good reviews. However, I really wish I would have researched a lot better. I never like to see a Doctor to begin with an typically when I do, I already know what's wrong with me. I visited with Eugene on two occasions for minor things. Both times I visited with him, he simply agreed with my own diagnosis and prescribed medications. He never really delved very deep in to my health, nor really showed any type of care whatsoever. I really didn't care either, because 100% of the time I just needed a prescribed medication to cure my ailments. Anything that took him getting out of his chair or spending more than five minutes with me resulted in him telling me to see a Specialist. Fast forward 7 months later, my Wife had recently undergone a C section and was being treated by an excellent OB in town. She had additional follow-up surgery for another issue by another excellent Doctor. My Wife who suffers from ailments brought on by severe trauma in her Childhood needed a refill on Medication, that she was unable to obtain due to her Primary Doctor being out of town. I suggested she go see Eugene--HUGE mistake. My Wife arrived to a very Professional Female staff who were very kind, patient, and helpful. She was escorted to a private room and was told a Student Chaperone would be provided. Shortly thereafter, Eugene strolled in, closed the door behind him (NO CHAPERONE) and plopped down in his seat. He then proclaimed arrogantly, "So uh, you are here for what? A Follow-Up? Is that really why you are here?" He then proceeded to lean forward and offer up some sexual innuendos in relation to her recent Surgery. My Wife, already taken back by his unprofessional demeanor at this point; sat there completely dumbfounded. My Wife remained professional and completely disregarded his sexual innuendos (which later she believes is what set him off) she then explained that she had surgery recently and everything is fine. She needed a refill on medication she was not able to obtain from her Doctor. At this point Eugene flipped out and yelled at my Wife for wasting his time. He flung the private rooms door open and proceeded to scream at all the Female Staff for sending a Patient to see him for a refill on medication that he did not initially prescribe. He announced to the entire office what medication it is and ensured everyone heard. At this point my Wife is pretty much speechless from humiliation and holding the tears back to save what little face she has left. He then scribbled the prescription, threw it at her and stormed out of the room. All the while the supposed private room door hanging wide open. My Wife quickly collected her belongings and remaining pride up off the floor and vacated as quickly as possible. My Wife sits here with me as I type this and in some small way feels vindicated. She feels vindicated in knowing that she has HOPEFULLY saved some other poor Woman the humiliation and all out disrespect that she went through. My Wife is a proud non-feminist, but after this incident... she now understands why Women are feminists. Eugene is a chauvinist with ZERO respect for Women, let alone his PATIENT! Clearly we will never spend another dime at Eugene's office and we greatly implore you to pass the word and stay away. This is no Doctor, this is just an Animal named Eugene who takes his frustrations out on Women. I sincerely feel bad for this Animals Wife (probably his 3rd or 4th), Mother, and Children. Thanks for reading. read more

Very unfriendly and rude. He made multiple insensitive comments to both my sister and I separately. When I was 5 minutes late to an appointment because of traffic and I called to let him know and he said he would have to canceled that was the last straw. All he seems to care about is himself and how much money he makes. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I have been going to see Dr. Pampe as long as I can remember. In the beginning he was a great doctor- really listened and made you feel like he was genuinely concerned about your well being. Recently my husband and I started meeting with a nutritionist for our triathlon training and she wanted to have blood work completed to see where we may be deficient. She said we could just go to our GP and have the tests run, and then we would go over the results with her. I called to schedule an appointment for a Friday at 8:15am because I would need to be fasting. I arrived on time (actually 5min early) and immediately checked in. I had an address change, so we got all of that taken care of and then I was called back 25 min later to speak with Dr. Pampe's MDVIP liaison. I had no idea this was coming- it was like a time share sale. Never had I received a phone call or anything in the mail regarding this change in his practice, and she was essentially pushing me to sign up that moment. From what I understand, he is decreasing his practice to 500 patients to give them better service, you have a patient portal that you can log into regarding results and supposedly live chats with Dr. Pampe, and 1 large physical. OH- and if you travel out of town, Dr. Pampe will refer you to someone else in this network. All for approx $900-1800 a year. WOW! And after that, you cover what your insurance doesn't. I felt like I had to muscle my way out of the office without signing up and sat back in the waiting room. Soon after 9am, I was FINALLY called back to go to the room. The nurse was great- very fun and nice. And then the PA came in to see what tests I wanted run. She almost seemed surprised. When she called the phlebotomist in, he scoffed and was so irritated that he had to write all these tests down and research how they were done. He left the room to research but I could hear them all talking about it in the area outside my room. Shortly after, Dr. Pampe came in unhappy...... "In my 30 years, I have never run any of these tests....." "I don't want to run some tests on a fad...." "Who is this person.....?" After I explain that she is a professor at SMU, runs her own nutritionist business and is on the Texas board of nutrition, he wants to call her. He literally pulls out his cell phone and proceeds to call her to question her. Then he tells me that these tests will cost me in excess of $3,000 and my insurance probably won't cover it. My favorite part of the visit? When he asked me why my parents haven't gotten in touch with him about the MDVIP program. I am a 32 year old woman who is married and no longer a dependent of my parents and their medical choices are none of my business. I cannot believe he had the nerve to bring that up to me while acting so cocky calling my nutritionist. After arguing back and forth- I finally said I was leaving and wouldn't you know it- they charged my insurance an office visit. I contacted my coach and nutritionist, and I can't even list the number of doctors and labs that run these tests. I am literally going to one on Friday who runs both the normal labs and all of these in depth labs and it will cost me $159. Yep- $159!!!!!!!! I would NOT recommend going to Dr. Pampe and joining his time share doctor program. I wouldn't pay a penny to join..... Maybe he will take this extra time to update his practice and learn maybe some things aren't just "fads". read more

I had been going to Dr Pampe for years. For the first 10-12 years everything was great but once he got on the vp program he just didn't have time for the average person who wanst willing to pay$1500 a year out of pocket for his time. I really enjoyed my initial treatment by dr pampe and his staff but after my last 2 visits I decided to find another provider that treats me like a patient ideas of someone that will pad his bank account. read more

Dr. Pampe is a great physician and takes great care of his patients. I also love the idea of the MDVIP program that Dr. Pampe is putting in place. I'd much rather be ahead of any health issues, rather than just getting treated when something goes wrong. read more

The nurses are very rude and inconsiderate. They gossip among each other about different patients. I overheard them talking about another patient and it was very unprofessional. I feel sorry for the patient and the doctor's at the clinic for having such untrustworthy nurses. read more

I have a negative review to share about Dr. Pampe and his office. This is not out of malice (although I am furious with them); it is to help others who are looking for trustworthy medical care. 1) I went to Dr. Pampe for severe heartburn. He told me to either take a prescription drug for the rest of my life, or have surgery that would cinch my esophagus so far closed that I would never be able to vomit again. When I told him that neither of these options sounded reasonable for a young, healthy, fit adult, he assured me that those were the only two things I could do. I went to see a South Austin acupuncturist and, after 4 visits, was completely cured. I'm so thankful I wasn't your average joe who was willing to poison or mutilate myself in order to find relief. And I am so thankful to Wally! 2) Dr. Pampe referred us to a fertility specialist eight months ago based on some test results for my husband. We have been seeing that specialist for eight months and paying out of pocket (we have no health insurance). I will have group health coverage beginning tomorrow (thank God!), and we have yet another appointment with our specialist one day after that. Because of the new insurance, we are required to get a referral from Dr. Pampe to the specialist we have been seeing for months. He has refused to provide that referral because he has not seen me in one year and he would not feel comfortable (mind you, he had seen my husband and referred to us to the specialist based on that visit; all referrals for this type of thing are per couple, not individual, since infertility is a couple issue). We need the referral because the appointment without insurance is around $900; with insurance it is around $60. When I suggested seeing him so I could get a referral (even though I had not yet received my new insurance card), the nurse told me that I could not be seen without my insurance card in hand, even if I had my group number and policy number and over-the-phone verification from them. I asked in disbelief four times to be absolutely certain I was understanding her correctly. I spoke with "someone in charge" and she said the insurance company could easily fax over a copy, but that they were not going to fit me in over the next two days, so a referral for me was out of the question. She agreed to provide a referral for my husband. I obviously switched doctors in one day, securing a new patient appointment with the promise to receive my referral to the specialist in time for our appointment the next day. When I called the insurance company to switch to my primary care physician, she told me that Dr. Pampe could have easily provided a referral that was back-dated 60 days, and he should have known that and told me about it. Thanks a lot, Pampe. Needless to say we will terminating Dr. Pampe as my husband's doctor, as well, just as soon as we receive that referral. Unbelievable. read more

Dr. Pampe has taken wonderful care of our whole family since 1990. We've pretty much hit all the family health issues, birth, various illnesses, sports injuries. Dr. Pampe has always been quick to see us, great listener, down to earth advise and sent us to wonderful specialists when necessary. Words do not express our gratitude at having him as our doctor, friend and yes... counselor. read more

Dr. Pampe is great. His office staff was friendly and professional. I think he may have made a few changes in personel and all is better now. I have recommended him to several friends. read more

Dr. Pampe was my GP for almost 6 years before I moved to Denver in 2011. A few days ago 1 of my brothers who still lives in TX had a near fatal motorcycle accident so I dropped everything & drove back down to TX to be with him in the trauma center. 2 days into being back my allergies (which I always had before & should've expected) came back with a vengeance. After 2 days of violently coughing all kinds of nasty stuff including blood I went to Dr. Pampe to see if I could get the exact same medication he gave me every year twice a year for the 5+ years he was my doc. Upon arriving at his office to drop off my insurance info so as to make the process as easy as possible Dr. Pampe tells me in person that I owe him $200+ for something that he saw me for over 4 years ago before I left to Denver then just completely blew me off regarding giving me any help for my current situation. I of course was extremely embarrassed by the possibility that I had not paid a bill to someone who had taken care of me for so long & let him know I'd pay it right there on the spot so as to settle us up. If he had told me to go "F" myself it would've been the only way he could have been more clear that he wasn't going to help me. His office manager then comes back & tells me he's made a mistake & that there is only $10 outstanding due to a filing error some time ago. I of course pay it immediately even thought at that point Dr. Pampe made it very clear he wasn't going to do anything form me. The office manager tells me he'll let Dr. Pampe know he had made a mistake & that I was paid up but that since Dr. Pampe wasn't going to see me that if I needed the exact same meds they gave me every year twice a year for over 5 years straight that I had to sign up for a service called MDVIP which costs $1,600. I was polite in turning him down but was furious that I was being treated like a stranger who walked in asking for vicodin or xanax. I guess the office manager followed through on telling Dr. Pampe that there was a filing mistake because a few minutes later while I'm out in the parking lot coughing out my lungs Dr. Pampe walks out of his office building for no apparent reason & starts back peddling on his inability to do anything for me. I was very upset that it was obvious now that he knew I didn't neglect a bill that he was willing to help me but since I was spitting up scab phlegm & blood I thought I'd see what he'd offer. He tells me that he'll admit me as a new patient now but that he can't see me for 2 more days due to his schedule. I tell him I wont be here but 3 more days. His response was to point at some man who just pulled up & tell me that he's his next patient before he literally turns his back on my & walks back in his office. More than being mad & a little scared about my current position I am deeply saddened that all the negative reviews I've read about him online since moving away seem to be very true now. I'm sure Dr. Pampe is just a capable a physician as he was 10 years ago but he doesn't care any more about his patients (I realize technically I'm a former patient) & sure as sh!t doesn't care about the Hippocratic oath. read more
