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.

Amazing Guy
Doc Detten took care of me for years and I his old school attitude of knowing his patients and their personal care was great in a time of medicine by volume. He was quick to respond and always took time to answer questions and never acted like he had already made up his mind on care options.

Long time patient!
Dr Detten is everything you could ask for in a doctor. He listens to everything you tell him. He answers questions thoroughly and follows up whenever needed. He is very caring and has a wonderful bedside manner. Sometimes you have to wait a little while in the examine room but you realize it's because he is taking necessary time with someone else that needs it and you will be given the same care. He doesn't just whisk in and out leaving you with unanswered questions in order to move on.

Dr. Detten is tops
Doc Detten has cared for me and my family over 18 years. Even though my son grew up and moved away to another state, doc still asks about him and sends a message every time I see him. He is always caring and willing to work me in if I have unusual circumstances. He is an angel on earth

I've been a patient of Dr. Detten's for 19 yrs and his nurse from 2000 to 2002. He is, hands-down, the best Family Practice physician. Exceptionally efficient, thorough and knowledgeable. He genuinely cares for his patients. He listens to questions and concerns, and explains diagnoses, procedures, and treatment plans with clarity. Wonderful bedside manner. Highly recommend.
