(Even on weekends and holidays.) If I need to be seen, they can get me in that day or the following day. Annual exams are never hurried, and test results are fully explained. I'm not only getting great care, I'm saving money by avoiding costly emergency room visits. I'm also confident of getting referrals to the best specialists.

She has a appointment in five months with a neurologist but we though this place might help her manage some of the symptoms and feel better before that. It is the only serious medical issue she faces and yet they won't take her explaining they don't have the "band with" to manage her condition. I suspect they have labeled her in advance as a "white whiney woman" - a term male doctors often use to describe female patients who are aggressive in getting help or perhaps they just though she'd cost the practice too much money. Either way, no help from them.

This is my full update review (I have removed my prior). TL;DR at bottom…read more I saw Doctor Chimes around one year ago for intense hip and back pain. Right away, it was clear he cares more about his personal time than his patients. He told me he wanted yes or no answers and not explanations to his questions (and wouldn't really let me explain things in full even when it would clarify things). After my MRI, which showed multiple spinal issues (bulging, herniated, parse defect, which is a fracture) and bursitis in the hip, he gave me a shot for the bursitis that had already begun healing on its own. During this time, I continually try to tell him the pain is not in the location of the bursitis anymore. He continually ignores or even speaks over me. At the end, I am again trying to tell him I feel pain elsewhere in my hip even though there is a little reduction after the shot (but I was numbed, so of course it would hurt less). To test my pain, he had me stand up from my chair...once. Worse, when we were done and I was alone in the room, when I tried to get up to put my pants on, the pain was so intense I collapsed. This pain happened again when I got home and tried to take one step up the stairs. During our last appointment, instead of listening to me, he tells me "Your pain doesn't match the MRI", and that tells me I'm about to be dismissed, but then it got worse. He continues with, "In his professional opinion, you just need internal pelvic floor PT". Why? Because I'm a woman...and he asked me 2 or 3 YES or NO questions around sex and did not let me explain the answers... I told him I didn't think so, but he disagreed. Well, after speaking with a Pelvic Floor specialist, she disagreed with his assessment. So, instead of doing that, I went to Evergreen Sports and Spine and met with a new doctor who actually took my pain seriously. With his help and a new PT, another MRI of my hip WITH contrast (he was surprised that Dr. Chimes didn't order contrast as it's needed for specific tears in the hip), we found that I had a CAM Morphology, that should have been showing up on my other X-rays and MRIs, but apparently weren't spotted and/or reported...and that I had a tear in the Labrum of my right hip. Later, they also found I had a small pincer as well. So, a double impingement. I had to have surgery because the surgeon I spoke with next agreed that the tear was too large to not do surgery if I wanted to not be in pain. No arguing. No trying to talk me out of it. They immediately agreed it was the best course of action. I had surgery April 2nd of 2024 to remove my CAM and the Pincer they found, and then repair the labrum. While I'm still in recovery, my pain is down 80% of the time outside of flareups when I over exercise during my strength training. I would never send a woman to him, as she will be dismissed. I was in so much pain that I was crying after collapsing at the office during my last visit. The only reason I am giving this location a 2-star is because the women at the front were incredibly nice. This review is leaving out a lot of other smaller issues I had during my short time there. Maybe if you're a man, it'll be worth it, but if you're a woman, go elsewhere. I cannot, in good faith, recommend this office or Dr. Chimes. TL;DR, Dr. Chimes ignored what I said and then gave a sexist course of action due to my gender. New doctor 2 months later discovered the issue and that I needed hip surgery to remove two bone defects and a tear in my labrum. I have now had surgery and am doing well in recovery with a large reduction in pain.

I had adrenal fatigue in 2006 after I had my daughter and had not slept for about 12 months ( I'm not exaggerating. I think I slept about 2-3 hours a night). I had burned my adrenals out. I had no cortisol left! I could not fall asleep at night ( when my baby was finally sleeping through the night) and I could not wake up in the morning. I found Dr. Michelle and she did a saliva test and found that my cortisol was flatlined. After a year of taking a natural cortisol supplement, I was back to normal. I also had been severely anemic and she treated me with iron shots, which worked so much better than iron pills. Recently, while going through a divorce I had a lot of anxiety and some depression. And again, I went to Dr. Michelle and she put me on a number of anxiety reducing supplements that worked. She also helped my daughter when she contracted Lymes disease from a tick bite. Anytime I had a problem with my health, Dr. Michelle was there for me with REAL remedies that worked. Not like traditional doctors that run some blood tests, give you 10 minutes of their time while you wait 45 minutes in the waiting room and write a prescription. I'm in NY now, and this is the case with most doctors here. I wish ND's were covered by health insurance here!

Both surgeons told me surgery is the only guarantee my trigger finger and associated pain could be resolved. That did not set well with me as I had done my research before seeing both Doctor's to discuss my situation. I kept looking for a third doctor that was in my insurance network and found Dr Trumble. From the moment he walked in the door to meet me I immediately felt things would be different. Dr Trumble listened carefully to my observations with my trigger fingers. I asked about a cortisone shot and what did he think about it. He immediately explained that 60% of Trigger fingers are fixed with a cortisone shot and he was supportive of doing this before going for surgery. Within minutes he was prepared and prepped my fingers for the shot and in a few seconds i was ready to leave. I have a lot of experience working with healthcare professionals over my lifetime and I will tell anyone Dr Trumble is a first class stand up Doctor. Don't even think a second thought about Dr Trumble's qualifications, he is the Doctor to use for any hand issue. Thank you Dr Trumble!

I really appreciated that she was willing to try a few things on me, but wasn't too proud to refer me to a specialist once things weren't working as planned. I have also had a few anxiety-related symptoms and felt like she handled them delicately and in a way that could help relieve this anxiety. I also really like the online portal. When something small comes up that I am concerned about, I am always able to get a quick answer- whether it's advice, prescriptions, or a visit scheduled. I also like being able to see our appointment notes easily. I definitely feel like she is my advocate. If something makes me uncomfortable or anxious she always has another suggestion or a way to make things better. With my physical exams, I feel really at ease. She is gentle and continues to check in with me and provide me with information. I like how she provides suggestions as we go and lets me know areas that I am healthy and areas to watch. I feel like we never miss anything and that I can be very honest with her about my physical and mental health.
