He's extremely kind, patient, and overall an excellent doctor. I enjoy having him as my PCP. I just wish I didn't have to schedule so far out for an appointment. It's a blessing and a curse, because he's so popular! Mariana Racovita- I recently had an acute visit with Mariana and she was wonderful. Kind, courteous and more importantly thorough. I'd love to continue seeing her as well. The other staff (medical assistants and front desk) have been good for the most part. I've had some off experiences but are willing to look past due to the overall quality care received from Thrive. Shout out to the lab techs though, because they are always wonderful! Thank you!

No matter how many times I had health insurance changes, I always made sure I would be able to see Dr. Kravitz. I've had other doctors in other cities, but no one came close to Dr. Kravitz's knowledge (26+ years of practice), professional demeanor, and personability. He is knowledgeable on so many topics, and I know I'm able to ask him anything. And you know what? He listens. It's that simple. He sets your chart down, he looks at you, and he listens. Some doctors are just so harried they don't take the time to really let you explain what's happening or how you feel. It really does make the difference. We forget how important it is for a doctor to relate to his patients. I've seen doctors who have been cold, indifferent, uninterested in anything except performing an examination or treating whatever was wrong at the time. Sure, that's fine, but it's the bare minimum; it doesn't set me at ease. When I'm sick, and I'm concerned, Dr. Kravitz demonstrates a level of empathy I've yet to see in another doctor. It also helps he has a sense of humor! Even if he does not accept my insurance, I would only want to have him as my primary care physician. He's known me for years, and knows my medical history better than anyone. I hope to stick with him as long as I can. If you are looking for a new doctor in the area, you will NOT be disappointed. Dr. Kravitz is the real deal, and one of the few people I still trust in the healthcare field. A real winner!

I'm lucky and thankful that he called me personally and the results were negative! I can't say enough positive things about this man. He's been my general practitioner for almost 20 years and has continued to impress me with his professionalism and absolute care for my individual health.

I recently wrote a review for my new AWESOME dentist and it had me thinking about my AWESOME…read moredoctor, Dr. Sorensen. I'm surprised there aren't any reviews of her yet - she runs a small practice but she's a big deal. My first appointment with her was last fall. I was overdue for my annual and, like any normal human being, wasn't looking forward to it. A good friend recommended her with a glowing review. My intention was to call the office, just to ask if she was accepting new patients (she only accepts 600-800 so I figured my chances of getting in were slim). Much to my surprise, Dr. Sorensen was the one to answer the phone! That impressed me enough that I scheduled an appointment for the next week. My first impression of Dr. Sorensen was excellent, and things only got better from there. She literally does everything - she is a one-woman staff, which means she does everything from checking your vitals to dealing with insurance. This approach means that you get to spend more time with her, which means that you feel like anything but just another patient. She also takes a conservative approach to medicine, so when I told her about my occasional anxiety, she recommended things like yoga instead of jumping to more invasive/expensive treatments. Best part of my experience with her? I ended up having a bit of follow-up work the next day, and was obviously concerned about the results. She got back to me the next morning to let me know all was OK and thoroughly explain everything. And the day after that, I got my pap results back. That's right...TWO DAYS after my appointment I got my pap results! I'm used to waiting a minimum of two weeks. She called as soon as she got the results because she didn't want me to worry longer than I needed to...wow. If you are looking for a doctor who uses modern technology (online scheduling, mostly paperless, etc.) but won't provide you with the typical, cold doctor's experience, I strongly recommend Dr. Sorensen.

I visited this practice for the first time after recently switching from a larger practice. I was…read morevery impressed Dr Sorenson's professionalism. My initial visit was very through and the Dr took as much time as was needed to understand my medical history, make suggestions, ask questions and actually sit down and have a conversation! That is impressive in todays world. Her practice is purposefully small, self-managed and her interest in medicine and people is clearly visible in how she runs her business and treats her patients. I nearly fell out of my chair when I called to schedule an appointment and Dr Sorensen answered the phone herself. Unheard of! She also makes herself available on nights and weekends to answer calls or come to the office in case urgent issues arise. I believe she truly cares about her patients and wants to manage her practice with the best technology and information available to her. She leverages technology to allow her to have the time to treat the patients, rather than using technology as a crutch to fit more patients into her day. I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Sorensen, her sense of professionalism was first rate and she has a compassionate manner that is ideal for families looking for a Family Practice. If all small businesses could be run in the same manner Dr Sorensen is running her business, we would have a true sense of what community really means.

Well, I felt better just seeing Dr. Schroeder. I've been pretty down in the dumps since Harley died…read moreand our month-long trip really helped get me out of the doldrums! Getting to see my siblings was the highlight of the trip for me. Spending a lot of time outdoors with my dog getting more exercise than usual was the other highlight..... that is until I took a spill on one of our walks!! So, it's really unbelievable how many different parts of your body you can bruise and bang up from one little fall! I managed to get my chin, road rash on my right knee, huge bruises on the upper right knee, scraped right ankle, scraped left hand, and finally -my left foot (which I thought I probably sprained pretty badly based on the size and the colors it ended up being over the next few days.) Anyhow, I am a tough old bird and since we were out of state I really didn't want to go to the ER or an Urgent Care if it wasn't absolutely necessary so I stayed off of it as much as I could, all things considered, and it did improve very slowly but surely. Since this happened mid second week of our four week and two days trip, I really had expected it to be pretty much back to normal, but it is still hurting enough to cause me to limp, so I thought I better check in with Dr. Schroeder at Wells Branch Family Medical Center. She's been my doctor since 1990. I know, unbelievable, right?? I met her when I worked in long-term care back when doctors still went to facilities to see their patients. She was a very young DO, very personable, you could just see how much she cared about her patients and her communication skills were excellent. I asked her if she was taking on new patients in her practice and she was .....so the rest is history! Dr S. agreed that I should come in after reporting this injury. After examining my foot, she said that she thought it might well be fractured. We felt like it was probably the upper metatarsal considering where the swelling and the pain is. She ordered a foot and ankle X-ray which she ordered and I received today. Since I have been walking on it for over two weeks there was really no urgency and I did not expect to hear anything about the x-ray until tomorrow. I was a little surprised when she called this afternoon. Turns out I have something called a Jobe's fracture. Dr. S. recommends that I see an orthopedist and said it's highly unlikely I would need surgical intervention, but she does think that they will put me in a boot for 6 to 8 weeks. Jeez Louise, here we go again. I have got to quit falling! Bottom line here-I have had Dr. Schroeder as my Primary Care Physician for 30+ years and I still feel the same way about her care and concern and expertise as I did when I observed her seeing her patients in the long-term care facility. 40 (yes 40!!!) years ago. I don't know if she's taking any new patients so you'll have to call & check if you I have a need to make a change. I just wanted to write up a five star review because Dr. Schroeder and her team at Wells Branch are just incredibly awesome and I want to be sure they know it!!! Yvonne- At the front desk is so sweet and very efficient and Dr. Schroeder's nurse has been there for years and is quite a card. I must say that even though my foot ends up being broken, I felt better when I left the office, then I did when I came in! I hope anybody that happens to be reading this feels the same way about their practitioners. I just know that I am truly blessed, and I hope to be able to continue my visits when necessary for as long as I live!

One line summary: It's not terrible - check medical websites for better reviews…read more This is an office shared by several doctors located on the side of the strip mall facing the gas station. I read many positive reviews of Dr. Carlson at my insurance's medical review website, so I decided to book an appointment since I'm new to Austin and was looking for a family care practitioner. Dr. Carlson was great and answered all my questions, taking time to listen to a concern I had about a hearing problem I sustained after a basketball injury. After taking a look for himself, he recommended me with a list of 3 ear specialists just to make sure there was no long term damage. He also suggested that for my age, yearly check ups aren't as necessary, and every 2 years would suffice, so it's nice to know he's not looking to get as much money from me as possible. The only down side I experienced was it took about 9 days wait before I could get my appointment. I don't know how long waits normally are, or if this was an anomaly, but if I had the flu or something that needed attention quicker, 9 days is not very acceptable. Overall, I'm pleased with my experience here and would recommend it.
