Setup an appointment, but because I haven't had a Covid Test they couldn't honor the appointment…read more I get these are pandemic times, but I made the appointment a week before. You would think they would mentioned that I needed a covid test prior to coming in. I mentioned that they should please consider what it takes to take time off to see a doctor (and I live remotely, so an hour to drive) but was dismissed and said to comeback when I had my covid test completed. Needless to say I will not be making a another appointment here ever.

We just became patients of this doctors office and so far we are pretty happy with the services…read morerendered. Our Dr. Johnston was very thoughtful with our concerns and got back to us promptly. Also the staff girls are awesome and very friendly. When they drew blood, they didn't just poke around but tried to keep us as comfortable as possible. We will continue to see them for any needs we may have. If you're looking for a family doc, check these ladies out! The office is fairly new, clean, and easy to find!

I would recommend either doctor to everyone! The front desk and nursing staff are also great. I think it's hard to find an office that is wonderful all around, and this is it!

The Good: Dr. Summer Engler is an amazing rheumatologist who…read moretakes the time needed for each appointment, and she listens to her patients. Her MA, Benson, is an absolute gem! He's personable, friendly, and incredibly caring. Both of these staff members deserve the highest of accolades! The Not-So-Good: Their front desk staff won't prioritize according to need. I was forced to wait six or seven weeks for an initial eval. I realize schedules fill, and the world doesn't revolve around me; but that was ridiculous. The front desk staff's attitude was callous. I asked to be put on a waiting list for cancellations. This was refused. Hence, a 4-star review instead of 5. Final Note: There's an old saying... a really good doctor usually has pretty bad front office staff. Try to over look the front desk because Dr. Engler and Benson are worth it.

Went there for two years - during that time, after providing extensive information about my medical…read morehistory, they repeatedly failed to have major conditions logged in my records, which led to poor and inadequate care, gaslighting, and frustration. They often didn't fully listen, assuming they knew what I would say and not really hearing me or addressing my concerns. Then they started charging for questions or follow up communication through the portal - that was the final straw. They made the excuse that "other places are doing that too" and "you probably didn't realize since it was in the fine print on a form we had you sign." I'll take my business elsewhere.

I have been a patient at Arete for 4 years. Recently, the quality of care and dismissive actions…read morewas poor. I was billed unnecessarily just for asking questions in the portal. The front desk staff was not helpful towards answering questions every time I would call. The front desk was not only unfriendly but they would talk to me in a cold and mean manner. My provider refused to answer my direct questions on the portal and via phone calls when I called every day. Instead, she billed me for "researching". When all I asked for was a referral- I did all the research myself. Not only did I feel like my care was dismissed but I was neglected and billed extra after messaging in the portal which I was not informed about.

Dr. Newirth has treated me several times. He is compassionate and highly intelligent, and is…read morealways able to provide detailed answers to my health questions. Dr. Dave treated me successfully with the Bowen technique when I had lower back and hip pain. Also, at his suggestion, I tried Kangen water and have been drinking it exclusively for over 5 years. I love it and have recently begun to use some of the other features of the water machine, which Dr. Dave has patiently explained to me more than once. Recently I experienced an excruciating back spasm, and he treated me with massage and natural creams, which lowered the pain level quite a bit while I waited for the spasm to run its course. I highly recommend Dr. Newirth for everyone who wants to avoid prescription medicine, only put healthy things in their body, and thrive naturally.

We weren't able to get in to see the surgeon for a consult as quickly as we would have liked, but seeing his PA Jennifer was absolutely the next best thing!

So utterly unimpressed with Dr Kirkham. He was arrogant, impatient, disbelieving and disrespectful…read more Turns out he was not only wrong but unhelpful and spoke badly about their own staff. He made my child feel like he wasn't believed, made me feel silly for utilizing a wheelchair to help my son get around when every GD inch of ground in this city is icy and rocky due to breakup. I will not go back to the Anchorage clinic. I think they farm for appointments to make money off those fortunate enough to be able to pay. Save time and money and go to OPA.

It so happens, I was referred to Dr Demers through another excellent Alaskan doctor, and as luck should have it, I took to her immediately. For those who may not know, she is board certified in both Internal and Occupational Medicine. Dr Demers is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and non-pretentious. She will listen to your concerns and give the latest evidence-based medical information as her explanations for whatever treatment plan she decides on. As a healthcare person myself that nearly became a doctor as well (I dropped out at the end of the third year but I get how doctors think and the intensity of the training having been through some of it), I appreciate her providing the latest findings in the medical literature in her explanations. Her breadth of knowledge is probably better than most. She put me on a new med that has really helped with one of my chronic health issues. I wish I had been taking this med before! I'll be sticking with her as my regular doc. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a regular doctor in the Anchorage area. Of note, her office is contained within the main building of Providence Hospital.
