12/29/25: THIS OFFICE REPEATEDLY DEMANDED I COME IN FOR MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY APPOINTMENTS…read more I did blood labs in October. I received a call in November that I needed to repeat a lab, & when I asked which lab & why, I was told I would need to make an appointment (with Amanda Schaffer, PA) to find out. . I raised this issue with the office manager,Tammy. She did not really respond to this issue beyond acknowledging I SHOULD be able to get that information from the office. ⁣ NEXT I WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET A RENEWED PRESCRIPTION for a lifetime medication. I HAD ALREADY 1) had an appointment, 2) new blood labs were ordered specifically for a new prescription, 3) lab results are the basis for writing a prescription, THEREFORE, THE PCP IS ABLE TO RENEW THE PRESCRIPTION & HAS NO NEED FOR FURTHER PATIENT ASSESSMENT. NO FURTHER APPOINTMENTS REQUIRED. The 3rd time this office told me that I had to have an appointment was for a medicare annual exam. So I went. ⁣ Turns out the appointment was used to kick me out of the practice & I had to remind Amanda schaffer, PA to address the reason I was told to come in. ⁣ In summary: my goal is to clarify the difficulties I experienced with this office: 1) being told I have to book unnecessary appointments with my PCP & 2) this medical office does not answer their phone.

I saw dr fenalson and dr Knudsen. Terrible experience with both as well as the offices and the…read morebilling has been a mess. Got sent to collections by labcorp when I didn't even receive a bill. Dr. Fenalson was one of the coldest people I've ever met and when I asked about side effects of a drug he wanted me to take he said there were none which was absolutely not the case. Then he couldn't get me in for my actual physical which I was under the impression that's what I was there for which I had already waited 6 months to get in, for 3 more months, then he cancelled the physical a week out. Then I went to Knudsen for endocrinology and that was the costliest waste of time ever. She did nothing but run duplicate tests and shared the results. Pointless as all get out. $800. Her office was the worst I've ever been to. You walk in and directly in front of the entrance is a desk where obviously one would expect to be greeted, but they rudely tell you it's the other window, and they are for the lab( maybe switch desks since i proceeded to watch twenty people go through the same thing ‍) then take a seat, but oh the couch is missing it's cushion, enjoy. Then waiting in the exam room I observed that it actually has never been cleaned. There was arm cheese on the chair and the exam table was filthy! Thank God I wasn't having an exam! Dr.Knudsen was friendly but such an odd scatterbrained woman. She didn't actually talk to me, she talked out loud as she typed into my chart slowly, it was the strangest experience. Huge waste of time and money. My heart rate was high when I got in because they were anxiety producing. The nurse said I'll check it again before you go. It was still at 100 but she waited until it said 99 for a moment and said ok that will do, obviously because 100 is the cut off for issues and she didn't want to deal with it. Then I was checked out by the picture of endocrine health, an almost bald overweight woman with a thyroid scar who could barely speak.
