This is always the case and because of the office staff, I will NOT be coming back! My doctor is great, but getting through is nothing but ugly. The fake office staff is by far the worst experience and causes anxiety just to ask about your health. Isn't there someone out there that is pleasant and would appreciate a job in the health care industry?

Dr. Nielsen is an excellent neurologist, and my concerns are not about her care. My experience with…read morethe administrative side of this office, however, has involved repeated and severe failures that directly affected and delated my medically necessary treatment. Over time I encountered ongoing problems with scheduling, referrals, and follow-ups. Calls and messages were not returned, even by management. I was hung up on. I was told referrals or authorizations were being handled when they were not, which resulted in a necessary appointment being scheduled late, BY WEEKS. I made multiple attempts to resolve these issues, including reaching out to the manager, Paulette, and to Michelle Pace, but did not receive responses. After repeated attempts to work through these problems, I ultimately transferred my care elsewhere. This review reflects the administrative experience only, not Dr. Nielsen's care, which I appreciated.

Unfortunately, I made the choice of going to Belmar Family Medical since they could get me in quickly. I would never recommend that office. Back to Dr. Atkins. From the moment she walked in the door we both literally thought we had met each other somewhere before. She was great! Very personable, happy and talkative, unlike the experience at Belmar. She asked a lot of questions about the accident and how I was feeling. She actually seemed like she wanted to know and really cared about my pain and the anxiety I now have when driving. She discussed our plan of action on getting some physical therapy done to help with my recovery. When I left her office almost an hour later I was so happy to have found a doctor in Colorado that I felt comfortable with! I was so excited that before I started the car I had to call my daughter to tell her. I sat there for probably 10 minutes just gushing over how excited I was and told my daughter that I would now be bringing her there as well because she's getting too old to see her Pediatrician anymore (she's 17!). Linda in the office was also fun and a pleasure to have met. She did my weight/height and vitals. The whole experience was just super great!! :)

I'm a big fan of women doctors generally and Megan was SO knowledgeable and helpful and a great communicator. Everything a healer should be. My primary doctor is Dr. Karen Kelly and she is also FANTASTIC. I highly recommend her; she tends to be booked several weeks or months out and for good reason. She's a great doctor. Years ago I had one bad appointment: the doctor got no cells from a screening but they charged me anyway, even though the test was null and void. They also refused to do another test, telling me I had to do it out of pocket if the insurance company refused to pay for another. That was a case of the patient being truly ripped off. This was over 7 years ago, and also I still did not switch doctors, because EVERY other experience was really great. They've done every other test I need perfectly and saved me a lot of expense by being clear and honest about tests I actually needed or did not need. They've partnered with me to really look after my health. These days as a patient you have to pay attention to how you're being treated by insurance companies and labs and medical practitioners, and you have to go to bat for yourself. But it's great to have doctors you can trust and rely on. That's why I've been a patient of Applewood Internal Medicine for a decade.

They asked me to come in for an initial visit prior to having my annual exam. That's fine, but I mistakenly assumed this initial visit, where nothing other than BP and build was measured, would be considered part of my annual exam and billed as such (my insurance covers one annual exam/year). At this visit, I talked to the NP for about 30 minutes (which included her leaving the room twice to deal with another patient--I was nice and didn't complain about this although it was inappropriate). She asked me to schedule my exam in approximately a month. This weekend I received a bill for this initial visit. I called the office to verify whether this initial visit was considered part of the annual exam; it is not. So I'm paying for a 30 minute conversation that was not valuable to me in any way. My suggestion to this practice is to let patients know up front they will be paying for an initial conversation if they want to establish care there. It's not a huge amount of money, but it's money out of my pocket for zero return. There are plenty of practices that will provide quality, efficient care without taking advantage of their customers in this way, and I will be moving my care to one of them.

I've never been sent to collections before in my life and since my credit doesn't matter anymore, I will not be paying it. I think they should be sued for turning people over to collections without notification, especially when they take my credit card every time I walk in the door! So it's my fault you charged my credit card, but not for the correct amount? I will never be going back and based on all the stellar 1* reviews here, I've learned my lesson to now check first. *FYI: if anyone is planning on suing and wants to it to be a class action, feel free to contact me.

I've never been kept waiting more than a few minutes past my scheduled appt time and have never felt like I was rushed or didn't have time to ask any questions I had. She in fact spent at least an extra 45 minutes with me at one recent visit - I was much sicker than I realized and she recognized right away that I needed to be transferred to the ER. She made all the necessary calls, and kept an eye on my condition until the paramedics arrived. She is prepared to deal with urgent problems like the one I was having but also takes the time to go thru everything health-related at least every year and makes sure that I'm up to date on my vaccines, etc. I feel very lucky to have found such a competent and empathetic medical provider.

That is all I wanted--a physical and basic bloodwork. At no time did anyone let me know verbally or in writing that there is a fee to establish care despite my letting them know that my insurance only covers a physical once/year (everything else falls under a very high deductible). At first, Dr. Mahoney was nice and knowledgeable although he appeared to be jacked up on something...then he was pretty unprofessional and also dropped the ball on a requested test. This is the first doctor's visit in which the nurse did not ask me to put on a gown and I did not get a physical (just my blood pressure taken by the nurse and Dr. Mahoney "listened" to my heartbeat" while talking incessantly about how his mother-in-law takes testosterone which makes women aggressive. I did not ask about testosterone nor do I have any interest in it so I found it strange that he talked about it for a long time. He also told me that he cleaned another patient's ear out ("the son of a cardiologist") and made him bleed so that patient was annoyed with him (a legal expert told me that the doctor sharing this could be considered a HIPPA violation...). I asked for a urinalysis to be done with my bloodwork and left a urine sample which was never completed and to date nobody can tell me how it was forgotten although Dr. Mahoney admitted writing that he "forgot." When I explained that my health insurance would not cover me coming back to do it at another time as they suggested, nobody cared or offered a solution. When I received a questionnaire about my experience, I left honest feedback. I spoke with their Patient Representative, Kaoni, who told me she had never heard about a new patient fee and that I would not have to pay it. (I brought it up because I read another one-star review from a patient who mentioned it.) Despite that, I have now received a bill from Common Spirit--a new patient fee for $165 to "establish care" that my insurance will not cover. Since I am not going to return to this practice due to gross incompetence, negligence, and unprofessionalism, I am NOT going to pay it. I have called the Patient Representative line several times, left messages, and apparently Kaoni or anyone else cannot be reached. I can only get one physical/year and this one was a waste of my time and it puts my health in jeopardy. In fact, I will be demanding that I get a full refund back to my insurance for this awful and stressful visit. My recommendation is that people avoid this place unless you have money to burn and do not care about your health and wish to be treated poorly. For starters, Common Spirit should be transparent about their new patient fee. I would not have come here at all if I had known about it. How would you like to go out to dinner, order food and then get a bill that includes the charge for your meal + a "new diner" fee? Nobody would like that. It's underhanded, corrupt, greedy, and sleazy! If you wish to charge this, then be transparent about it from the get-go! Please also note that CommonSpirit only seems to allow 5-star reviews of their doctors on their website which IMO is misleading and unethical. Shame on this medical practice and facility. I have filed a formal complaint with DORA and will be filing more with every other consumer/government agency I can. I will also be calling an attorney if they insist I pay the new patient fee that was never disclosed to me when booking the appointment for what turned out to be a terrible physical at a facility I would never trust again.
