I'm sorry you can't benefit from his knowledge and experience. I've gone through 4 doctors since he retired and I liked them all but none of them come even half way to being the doctor he was. But very, very few ever will and I doubt I will find one of them. I laughed reading a couple other comments, the negative ones. Had to wait to see the doctor? Terrible! Unless you are the earlier patient with a serious problem that he took the time to help. They didn't over book, they took more time than allotted when it was necessary. A doctor that can stay on schedule is what we have now: "what's your problem? Okay, here's a prescription. Next patient" And Dr Mike made it clear that he could not accept Medicare patients because Medicare doesn't pay for anything they consider unnecessary, which is anything beyond taking your vital signs. Those of us approaching Medicare age knew that and planned to pay out of pocket. He was worth it.

A Professional Nurse's Perspective on Clinical Integrity…read more**Rating: ** As a Registered Nurse with 25 years of experience,, I understand that medical reviews are inherently anecdotal and subjective. However, I feel it is vital to offer a professional counter-narrative to some of the high-conflict claims posted here. It is a frustrating reality in healthcare that providers are legally prohibited by HIPAA from responding to public reviews with the facts of a case. This often leaves the public with a one-sided story, especially when a provider has had to enforce a difficult clinical boundary. **The Reality of Care at Forget Me Not** In my time as a patient at this clinic, I have witnessed a level of dedication that is rare in the Anchorage community. Sara Stetson is a "listener-first" provider who treats her patients as partners in their own health. While some have claimed she is "too busy," the reality is that she intentionally serves the underserved--including Medicare and Medicaid patients--often spending significantly more time with them than she is ever reimbursed for. This is a sign of a provider who prioritizes community advocacy over profit. **Professionalism & The "Husband" Dynamic** Regarding the office staff, I have found the "dynamic duo" of Sara and her husband, Sumner, to be exceptional. In a small, family-run clinic, the office manager often has to act as the "gatekeeper" for safety. As a nurse, I recognize that their firm adherence to legal prescribing protocols and office boundaries is not "rudeness"--it is a professional necessity. They prioritize patient safety and regulatory compliance above being "liked," which is exactly the integrity I want in my own healthcare team. **Vetted Excellence** To any prospective patient: I encourage you to look past anonymous emotional intensity and focus on verifiable data. Sara is a 20-year veteran of the USAF and Public Health Service with an mpeccable, active record on the Alaska State Professional License Search. Public records and professional standing speak far louder than any isolated incident. I trust this team implicitly and highly recommend them for evidence-based, compassionate care.

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.

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 was seen at 2 other offices prior to meeting him and his professionalism, ethics and problem solving are second to none. I highly recommend. As a chronic pain patient-if what is being offered is not solving your issues then move on to a new doctor. I wasted over a year with the wrong one who kept insisting on repeating injections that were not helping.

If you have any kind of severe or chronic pain please consider reaching out to Advanced Pain…read moreCenters of Alaska. I worked at APCA for over a year and the providers genuinely care about helping their patients. They don't start by pushing medications but rather approach your treatment with a more holistic approach. They start with procedures that are targeted to treat your symptoms. Then they work to get you into physical therapy, massage therapy, etc. to help target the issues that are causing the pain. In terms of employment I would highly recommend this office. The providers are great to work with and they enjoy teaching their staff new things as they believe that the more everyone knows the better the office will run. I would definitely agree! Having people cross trained allows for information to get to the patients more easily as anyone can answer their questions. The work environment is great. I really enjoyed my time working with Dr. Olamikan and think he was a great boss. The patients themselves were so kind and I miss so many of the regulars now that I have moved. Overall, I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for pain management care or employment!

When I told her I was married to woman she asked me if I "have had intercourse in the past" as if I couldn't with a woman... She did not tell me that she was going to lift my shirt to examine me. The assistant told me to go back to my room after my tests but when she found me there she rolled her eyes and told me off for not waiting for her to walk me back. The whole time I was speaking with the Dr. I felt like she was hassled by the fact she had to be there. I would not recommend this place to anyone who identifies as lgbt+
