Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

20 yr patient, no more.
My entire family and I had been seeing Dr Gothelf for about 20 years, until this past year. He's been great! Then, about 5 years ago, I noticed a change in his personality. He was still very kind, as always. But, he started making odd, unsolicited, political comments about the now former President.At any rate, I found out a few months ago that he joined some medical group and this group doesn't treat patients under 65? He only sees seniors now?!There was no formal warning or letter sent.When I called their office, the lady who answered was as rude as can be. I asked her if they had any other options they could possibly provide for those of us who were kicked to the curb, and all she could say in her snide voice was, 'Sorry, You'll have to find a new provider on your own.'It is too bad that his office has gone downhill.Dr Gothelf was one of the better Dr's out there. Whatever happened to him to make him change, is truly a heartbreaking shame.I will definitely miss him as my Dr

In my opinion Dr. Gotthelf is a failure as a doctor and derelict in his duty. My partner has been taking a controlled sleeping medicine under his directions for years. However, he only writes her prescriptions for 30 days at a time even though there is no legal restriction against writing the script for up to six months. When we requested our pharmacy send a request for a refill, but asking for a 90-day supply, it took two full days for him to respond, denying the request, and didn't even have the courtesy of calling us to tell us why. As the drug is addictive, the sudden stop of this medication can throw someone into painful withdrawal, and with only three pills left, it is likely that this may happen! I would never go to him even if my life depended upon it as I am not sure he would even care!

A derelict to his profession – Oct 22, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gothelf I?
Dr Gothelf is the BEST doctor around! I have been his patient since 1997 and I am 89 years old so I know what I'm speaking of. Both the office staff and the doctor have taken great care of me from the very beginning until current day. My friends tell me that I look 45 years old and I am 89!! I would really recommend Dr Gothelf to anyone who is looking because he really is the BEST!!

Well run courteous office. Minimal wait for Doctor. He is kind and thorough and knowledgeable. I have confidence in him - to prove it, have been his patient for more than 20 years. His staff is the best. Best phone and desk manners , never try to rush you

The doctor is great but the staff member needs some training. I would like DR Gothelf to contact me to see if there is some way we can stay with him under some kind of arrangement.
