They truly demonstrate how much they care about getting the best outcomes possible. The best part is how knowledgeable and experienced they are in cutting edge anti-aging practices. I'm extremely happy with their ability to determine the best vitamin and supplement regimen. I'm 67 years old and I feel better now than I have for years. Dr. Goodman and his staff are amazing! I couldn't be more eager to refer them to anyone hoping to maximize their physical well-being! Good job y'all!

Your body, your choice? Not at Selah Health. I was a…read morepatient over a decade and went with a midwife for my prenatal care after being told that I would have to wait until my second trimester and at that time would have to sign a document committing to only seeing Selah Health for all of my prenatal care prior to even being able to see Dr. Kang to discuss all my options for prenatal care. I had my baby at a birthing center and after being discharged I and my midwife went to Mercy Hospital to see the on-call OBGYN for suturing. I was told by that OBGYN, who happened to work at Selah Health, to follow up if I had symptoms after suture placement, which I did. I called Selah Health and they refused to schedule me, informing me that I was under the care of my midwife for the first 6 weeks postpartum and to make an exception, I'd have to have a referral from my primary care provider. I went to my primary care provider and had them send a referral noting the symptoms I was having that I was told by the on-call OBGYN to follow up on if I was having. I then received a call from Selah Health informing me that they declined my referral. I then had to wait until the 6 weeks postpartum period was over to schedule an appt. I was able to schedule with the on-call OBGYN that I had seen at Mercy Hospital and had to wait an additional 6 weeks for her to be back in the office to see her. The day before my appt. I received a text message alerting me to complete intake online paperwork in preparation for this appt. At the end of the day I then received a call alerting me that the person who scheduled me had made a mistake and I was actually dismissed from the practice. I tried to access my online account and it was gone. Since I had blocked my schedule for this appt. I decided to still go to Selah Health the following morning to talk to someone in hopes to still be seen. They still refused to see me. I was told that their malpractice insurance carrier told them they don't have to see me. I have heard this happen to other women who were patients of record that ended up using a midwife for their prenatal care. Instead of seeing us, they are telling us to go to another OBGYN/gynecology office, even though they manage our gynecological care. I was not alerted ahead of time that this would be the outcome of using a midwife. I also was dismissed the day before my appt. without any letter notifying me of this decision. This is considered medical abandonment. I feel that I'm being punished for using a midwife. I do not feel like they care for my wellbeing and sadly I do not recommend their services.

I'm not quite sure how people actually obtain care from this office. I jumped through all the…read morehoops of having a Primary Care Doctor submit a referral to their office, have my former providers submit medical records, and they responded to my referring doctor, not to me, saying they declined the referral.

Always good see a positive review when it comes up, however, I'm seeing that the overall consensus…read moreis not very positive. For me, frustration has been building that began with Dr. Akman's refusal to run a basic test. I will never understand, because other doctors have run the same test. Akman's response was, I don't need the test because,"I know what it is." At other times he ignores abnormal test results. In my opinion this is negligence, and it so perfectly illustrates the personality and manner in which Akman runs his practice. Akman listens to no one and certainly not to his patients, and while we are admonished to participate in our own medical care, this is impossible to do under Akman's dictatorial style. Without an open and analytical mind, Dr. Akman is prone to making mistakes. I have put up with Dr. Akman's arrogance and rudeness for much too long. Reviews of Akman on this site serve to reinforce my own experience. Dr. Akman refuses open discussion and gives no evidence of caring for his patients. I have never experienced anyone in the medical field with the same degree of arrogance and lack of concern. I feel that he is at the burnout stage in his career--30 years with the same old variety of patients; he can no longer hide his impatience and irritability. His office environment appears as worn and tired as Dr. Akman. I am pretty certain that it is the need for money that keeps Akman going, not his devotion to his patients.

After waiting over 2 months to be seen, (after GP sent referral MULTIPLE TIMES with no response, we…read morefinally walked referral into office.....) and progressively getting worse, (including recent ER visit days earlier where ER Dr said it was imperative she be seen IMMEDIATELY)... "Dr" Akman turns my daughter away (swollen lymphnodes with serious thyroid issues) because she had cough (symptom of inflammation of thyroid) and very slightly raised temp 98.8 that they called "a fever" ....yes, I know.... ridiculous...symptoms could be cancer but we won't know because he said she needed to reschedule. (By the way, temp check multiple times at home, NORMAL temp. and she never had any actual symptoms of Covid, intermittent tickle cough is NOT "Covid") Needless to say I called and let front know that if he is that paranoid of Covid he needs to quit practicing medicine. I heard from a nurse that he already closed his practice 4 months because of "Covid"....I said this is why more people have died from NON TREATMENT than from Covid. Believe the crappy reviews, save time and go elsewhere.

Injury on 6/30/23, surgery on 7/17/24. Had to have my regular Dr. from Corning make contact with this office or I would still be waiting until 11/6/24 for surgery. Dr. Brubaker specifically told me to contact if stronger pain med is needed after surgery. I contacted Friday, 7/19/24 by 8:30 AM. I also contacted yesterday, 7/24/24 as I need stronger pain med, a walker that is too narrow for proper use, & crutches that are literally falling apart after 1 yr of daily use. Still can't get stronger pain med as I was assured by the SURGEON that he would prescribe me if I needed them. The office staff is not doing their jobs. What I am going through and have gone through with this office is patient abuse & neglect. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A STAFF THAT DOES THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY!!!!
