If you want your medical care served up with a maximum dose of right wing politics, make an appointment at this practice.
The good: Very nice, receptive, and helpful staff. The doctor, too, is personable and conducted an efficient medical examination.
The bad: Bible verses on the walls. Stacks of gun magazines around the office. A New Testament bible on the table in the examination room. The incessant and grating paranoia from the ever-present right wing extremism of the "The Blaze" cable TV channel in the waiting area.
Certainly the practice has the right to display all of these things and advertise the political leanings of the proprietor. However, consider the environment this creates. I had several healthcare questions I wanted to ask Dr. Replogle. However, because I did not share his obvious extreme right-wing agenda, it created a climate in which I did not trust my physician and was not comfortable vocalizing my questions. My medical exam was thorough and complete but I will seek answers to medical questions not relevant to this specific examination, from another provider.
Finally, Steve Replogle is a Doctor of Osteopathy, not a medical doctor. The distinction is largely inconsequential as a DO may provide most of the services of an MD. However, based on the number of "sales pitches" posted around the office, repeatedly and earnestly trying to convince patients that DO's are "real doctors" and "just as good as MDs", and that DOs went to medical school too, etc. -- it seems like the there is a bit of an organizational inferiority issue. read more
