When I tried to schedule, I was booked 2-1/2 to 3 months out.When the doctor arrived in the exam room, it was ~35 minutes past my appointment time.Doctor was a good listener, and responsive to my needs and concerns, and tried actively to find answers/treatments.Seemed present and helpful.

Relatively easy to schedule appointments, even if they were a few weeks out. One suggestion for improvement would be to be able to make medical recommendations factoring harm reduction over abstinence, such as for drug and alcohol use.

I feel the doctor cared about my new onset of HTN. I would have liked a more thorough look at other drugs I'm taking to see if drug interactions or SE were a problem.

Dr. Urbach used to be able to complete my physical in one visit, including the blood draw for labs. Now he is unable to do so as before. I do not like that, and it is a reason I have stayed. Now that he is prevented from being able to do everything for a physical in one visit, I may depart the practice-too much regulation of what my Dr. wants to do.

Dr. Daniel Urbach is a highly respected physician whom I have seen for over 30 years. I trust his judgment and expertise. As a medical professional myself I would not think of going anywhere else.

Excellent bedside manner. Listens, takes time to understand, explains things well. Kind, compassionate care.

Dr. Urbach has changed his approach to me greatly within the last year. I do not take personal offense to these changes as I can tell by what he says, and by his actions, that he is attempting to protect himself from allowing any of his personality to come forward - most likely this is his way of shielding himself from any possibility of being hurt (completely unintentionally by me and in my case of being his patient) and other patients I would assume the same. This is a rather big shift in Dr. Urbach's personality from the previous 14 years of being his patient in a PCP relationship with him.

Dr. Urbach is a great doctor! Always listens and explain a things well. There was receptionist the front desk (sinse she had an English or Aussie accent) who was the most cheerful and friendly receptionist I've ever met at Legacy. She needs a big shout out for how great she is with greeting Patients. Again, Dr. Urbach is great too!

The front office staff is always helpful, especially appreciate help they provide when I call in with questions. Dr Urbach's MA's are always friendly and competent. Dr Urbach never makes me feel like my appointment is rushed which I really appreciate. I go in with a list of questions and when those are discussed he always takes time to ask if I have any additional concerns.

Dan is always very attentive to all my concerns. He allows us to problem solve health issues together. I always come in with a list of my concerns which he responds to, to my satisfaction. My only concern is that the actual physical itinerary seems somewhat curserary.

Expressed that he was not "up to speed" on COVID-19 boosters, so had no recommendation as to whether to get 2nd booster. Any PCP during a pandemic SHOULD be current on vaccines!
