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.

Most Wonderful Doctor Ever
Telehealth
Dr Fickel is thorough in her assessments. She relates her diagnosis back to the patient in understandable terms. She takes the time to hear what you are saying. She is quite skilled at dealing with and coordinating care for the patient with complex medical diagnoses. I am quite picky and I LOVE THIS DOCTOR..

Dr. Karen Fickel is OUTSTANDING. She's got current information about the latest treatments regarding weight loss options and cardiac health (my current concerns), and she's willing to discuss pros and cons, including costs. She's very friendly but also professional. I have referred other people to Dr. Fickel.

I love Sargent Clinic. More personal. Easy to park.Easy to access. One problem. You don't have Excellent' for a choice because I would use Excellent' for my time and care and support from Dr Fickel. She hears me. She knows me. She's very knowledgeable. She's an excellent physician who has my confidence and respect.

About Me

biography

Medicine is a partnership between patients and doctors. I enjoy treating diseases as well as forming long-lasting relationships with patients and families. I think medicine needs to care for the whole person--the physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
